Hotel Valencia Riverwalk

Frommer's Review

It's easy to see why the Valencia is considered the hottest new lodging in town. The rooms are super chic -- lots of contrasts, retro lamps, and tongue-in-cheek touches, such as the faux mink throw on the bed -- and very techie-friendly. The on-site Vbar and Citrus restaurant are übertrendy, and the panoply of colors and sounds (a splashing waterfall, music wafting through the halls) that you encounter as you enter the hotel is stimulating. But the entryway, on a busy street with a limited area for luggage (or vehicle) drop-off, is a tad too stimulating (as in chaotic), whether or not the remote Palm Pilot check-in is in operation. The hallways leading to the guest quarters are narrow and dark, and the rooms themselves have too many individual dimmer switches and lighting devices, and not enough space. The priciest rooms offer river views from narrow balconies. If you're looking for a slightly edgy ambience, the Valencia is a great environment. But if you're regular folk seeking a stress-free getaway, this may not be your place.
