Nice Riverwalk location
We stayed at the Valencia for two nights at the beginning of November, and we enjoyed it. The location is good, the hotel was nice, and had very friendly, helpful staff. We did not care for the darkness of the lobby and rooms, but they were attractive and clean. We had drinks in the bar and breakfast in Citrus, which was really good. It's a good location for doing all the tourist stuff. We really enjoyed San Antonio, the Alamo was really interesting and the Riverwalk Cruise (evening) was lots of fun (bring your own wine/beer). Also, spend some time in the hotel inner patio area, it has a great fireplace, nice place to sit with wine and mingle with other guests. All in all, it was a very nice time
