Cobwebs in rooms, rooms full of dust - Sink and bathtub did not drain. Their Vallet 3-4 standing around while guest returning to their rooms waiting in line for several minutes, then one of the valett was rude and told us to go around again....

The hotel is fairly nice however it could use some more lighting in the check-in area and in the rooms. It's in close proximity to the Riverwalk and within walking distance of the Alamo.
The rooms are a good size and come with a full complement of drinks in the mini-bar. The beds were comfortable and clean. The food at the on-site restaurant (Citrus) was pretty good. The bar doesn't open until 4pm, but there are plenty of food/drink options near the hotel. A few of the employees at the reception were not very helpful to say the least.
Overall, it was a comfortable stay and I would recommend it to others.

$29 per night parking is ridiculous!
Bad matresses covered with Egytian cotton sheats, ridiculous.
Loud street noise and thin walls between rooms,ridiculous.
The employees are uneducated zombies and are some of the worst i have ever encountered, ridiculous!
Happy hour only during the week,ridiculous.
This hotel is ridiculous!

good is where it stands. I only have two bones to pick with Valencia; and only because they hand you a card claiming to be one of the best hotels in the nation that I'm going to hold their feet to the fire. First, some of the employees have a disconnet with the customer. Service has to be above par from all your people. One (or 3) bad apples can ruin the whole batch. Second, the lobby restrooms were disgusting; not a big deal if you didn't have a restaurant down the same hall. Dirty bathrooms always raise a red flag.

BUT, this is my 3rd or 4th stay here so it certainly has its charm. The area around it has developed quite nicely. There is a Starbuck and another coffee shop just out the door. A few good restaurants have also sprung up down the street, so the location is certainly favorable. Great riverwalk access, but remember most places are easier to get to by using the street level. The hotel rooms themselves have been well kept with minor wear and tear. I would strongly suggest banning smoking in the entire hotel and avoid "non-smoking" rooms smelling like smoke <==BIG PET PEEVE. My favorite all time Mexican food restaurant is right up the street. Ask for directions to Blanco Cafe and enjoy breakfast or lunch - yum yummy yum.
