Hotel Valencia Riverwalk
The room was great, staff was great. The only thing we had an issue with was our room not being ready at check in. We had to wait for an hour for them to get it ready. It was very inconvenient but other than that, everything else was great.

Room was clean and breakfast was really good. Lots of waffle makers and coffee pots. Easy walk to River Walk or to Convention Center. Will definitely stay here again.
