I stayed for one night but it was perfect. The room was clean and I loved the property’s architecture. Such an easy walk from downtown and right in front of a CVS for convenience

It lives up to its billing as a 2 star hotel.
Patrick, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were looking for a clean place to sleep with no frills and this is what we got. Staff was friendly, check in easy and no other issues. Our room was clean, and minimal. Everything worked as needed for our stay. Will stay again for my next visit to Riverside.

Ample hot water

Just enough parking spots. Nice reception. Shower hot enough with amount, and duration ok. Garden type setting pretty at night. Some traffic noise, but not extreme. Fairly safe area, lots of different people in area. Bed, bath and T.V. ok. I would go back again.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Spent two minutes in the room. Gathered our stuff and left immediately. Dirty, smelly, horrible room. Went to the Marriott.
Bill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It will do for

The rooms are in much need of a refurbishing but it was clean. My bed didn’t have a fitted sheet, just a flat sheet laid over a plastic cover. The tv played only CNN. I tried to call the front desk several times but no one answered. It was ok for two nights and was a short 6-7 min walk to the convention center.
Laura, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The manager there is rude both in person and over the phone. She cuts you off when you are talking, doesn't answer the phone in a friendly way whatsoever. She needs to take a class on how to provide better customer service. Never staying here again. Save yourself the time and money and don't stay here.

2/10 Poor

The hotel is older and dated but that wasn’t a problem. The room was clean but we were put in the third floor room which had a balcony with lights that were left on all night. The glass door to the balcony had thin, flimsy blinds, and there was no way to block the light. The room is brightly illuminated the entire night, making it very difficult to sleep. There was no way to turn it off or darken the room at all. It was like sleeping with the lights on and it was HORRIBLE. I got so little sleep, I’ll never stay there again.
Ernestina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

While checking in, a different rate was quoted than the total rate that was finalized thru Expedia.
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really cute property, pretty loud because it's right on the major street but that makes it very convenient and walkable. Management gave us a bit of a problem because of false information on their site. We also booked a room with 1 queen bed but they insisted it was 2--not complaining though, the views were great
Brooklyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was okay. An older building that needed some repairs. Check in and out required ringing a bell and waiting for someone to come to the window.
Janet, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was disgusting. Sheets were paper thin with holes in them, hairs all over the sink, bathroom inside the sheets. You could tell someone had just finished using the bathroom because the toilet paper roll was jaggedly ripped and mostly gone. We left…abandoned the room and booked another room somewhere else. So disappointed.
David, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is a nightmare the property is in very poor condition the service is horrible we had the worst experience ever we where the literally for 13 minutes we check in go to our room I was going to take a nap while my wife showered when I pull out the sheets there was 5 different hairs on the white sheet and the pillow covers then I pull out the rest of the blanket and there is make up on the sheets spoke to the "Manager " she tells me I can leave the property when in reality I was going to do that I'd be crazy to stay there the worst place to stay DO NOT STAY HERE?
Jose, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Shabby outside, fresh inside

The room was fine, the outdoor upkeep up the hotel was degraded. Need new paint, paving, re-landscaping. Looks like a novel outside, but it’s deceiving my run down looking. The room was absolutely refurbished, clean and modern.
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Manager was rude and wanted to make a scene at five in the morning when no noise was made on our end. The no visitors rule is awful
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Probably Not

Pretty worn down, dirty and scary environment. Not a place for a woman traveling alone
