Honestly I never have left a review for a hotel but this one made me want to even just to give a…read moreheads up to others..... to set the scene me and my husband had drove 9 hours that day and finally got to the hotel. When I got to the room it was immediately a bit older and worn looking than the photos. As I always do I checked the bed first only to find little hairs everywhere on the bed and headboard... animal maybe? Then as I looked more there were visible stains on the sheets. They most definitely don't wash the top quilt so we removed that for the rest of the stay. My husband then took photos and brought them to front desk, they apologized and gave us new sheets yet we had to make the bed.... Last thing I want to do after a long day but I'm definitely not gonna sleep on the stained sheets....I honestly thought about switching hotels I even cried tbh because I was tired and upset. but decided to stick it out. The bathroom is fine but tiny. The shower barely got hot the whole stay and mind you I was there for a week (I had no choice). The paint on all the walls was literally peeling and chipped. The rug was dirty when we got to the room. The floor made me not really want to walk around without shoes on after showering because it felt gross. There was a spiders nest on our door frame and could mostly always hear music but whatever that's fine. No TV which is totally okay for us but something to note. We were moving so we had a lot of our values in our cars and while I don't mind the parking situation it was a bit scary as there were occasional homeless people and people that didn't look up to good wandering around the parking lot.. but what can you do? For the most part it's a lot of runners and pickleballers! I actually love the area it's in l, just again something to note! Honestly I was just disappointed. It's so cute in some areas and has great potential I just think they need to maintain their rooms better and thoroughly clean them. Oh and when I got my sheets changed again.... ANOTHER STAIN. Like just throw out stained sheets it's gross. It looked like someone peed on it. Also the sheets sucked and the bed wasn't very comfy. I'm all for the vintage feel, I'm not complaining about that it's just that it's not kept up well. I will say as my week went on and I accepted the cons I enjoyed the pool and pickleball courts! The coffee truck outside was super good and the Le labo soap was nice! I can't say I'd recommend the hotel sadly but there aren't a lot of cute boutique hotels in SATX so it's sad.. they just need to work on some things! Sorry for the rant.

My husband booked this hotel because of its convenient location, close to the River Walk and Alamo and most important, its in a very old and full of history building. We both really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was clean with the most comfortable beds and pillows and the very fun and convenient breakfasts and dinners/drinks. The beds and pillows were so comfy, we slept for almost 12 hours our first night... The foods, buffet style, were good, with many options. (They are comfort foods, if you expect high-end kind, it's not for you...) The customer services were what we appreciated and enjoyed the most. All of the staff, from the front desk hosts, to the managers, bartender (Annette), food service group... everyone was so friendly, nice, and welcoming. *The only "issue" that we experienced was the super loud, seemed like hours long, of car honkings, engines noice... of 1 night. But it wasn't the hotel's problem. The home team, The Spurs, won the game and the city was celebrating... Highly recommend this hotel and the services here... Thanks for showing us, the out-of-towners, the warm and hospitality of San Antonio/Texans that we heard so often before...

I've stayed at four- and five-star hotels and resorts around the world, and Mokara was truly…read moreexceptional. What set it apart wasn't simply the beautiful hotel or location -- it was the level of personal care. Ariel at the concierge desk was wonderful. She helped arrange safe airport transportation for my friend when she arrived before me and, when my flight was significantly delayed, made sure she could check in without me. Being stuck traveling and knowing she was in good hands was invaluable. We were welcomed with a personal note, fruit, flowers and champagne, and then surprised with more birthday treats during our spa day. Those thoughtful details made the entire stay feel special. And the SPA! Easily one of the best I've ever visited. Being able to truly relax before and after our treatments -- especially in the beautiful post-treatment lounge -- made it an experience rather than simply a massage appointment. Jessica gave me what was quite literally the best massage I've ever had (and I've had a lot of massages!). Even the little things stood out: complimentary morning coffee delivered through room service and an incredibly kind and helpful room-service attendant. Luxury hotels can have beautiful rooms and impressive amenities. What made Mokara exceptional was how genuinely cared for we felt from beginning to end. The personal touches made all the difference. Mokara will absolutely be at the top of my list the next time I'm in San Antonio. Five stars without hesitation.

It was still AMAZING and left me wishing that I could stay longer! My King Room was huge and ultra clean and comfortable! Taking a break from work, I headed to the pool deck, which was small but sufficient and had comfortable chairs to sun in. I remembered an amazing redfish dish from Ostra, enjoyed so many years ago... I really wanted to eat at Ostra again this visit, because I saw redfish on the menu and wondered if it was really as good as my memory of it. I was initially bummed that Ostra was closed for a private event during my stay, BUT my disappointment quickly turned to excitement when I saw the same dish offered on the room service menu. YES!! It was as good if not better than my memory of it! Finally and importantly, the individuals working in valet, front desk, and room service were so service driven and friendly! Overall, I cannot wait to stay at the Mokara again in the hopefully, not so distant future!

As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
