Hotel Valencia Riverwalk
The property is extra nice and I would stay there again. We had a couple of issues with plumbing and the fact that the river on the "River Walk" was empty. It would have been to know.

Everything was amazing with the exception of the pillows. They didn't offer any support and were uncomfortable. Would suggest more supportive pillows.
