Small room but very clean and modern. Very nice common areas to relax and have a beverage. Lots of dining options and easy walk to Funk Zone, which is very fun. Not far from State Street promenade. Excellent location. Parking expensive.

While the room was a tad small and didn’t have a mini fridge, it was clean, up to date, and the bed was very comfortable. Site parking is limited and there is no elevator. There is free neighborhood parking nearby. The location is hard to beat as it is on State Street and very close to the Fun Zone and Stearns Wharf. Yes, I would stay there again.

Upon arrival I was advised that no parking was available. I had to park blocks away at night. Our room was very small and there were dead insects on the bathroom floor. The body wash bottle in the shower was empty. We had an upgraded room with an outdoor patio, the patio was nice. The next day I talked with another valet staff who advised there was parking space and the person working the night before was new. I relocated my vehicle to the valet. I was told that maybe they could waive the cost of parking because of the inconvenience - did not occur. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very good. All in all, I will not return to this property.

We stayed at The Riviera Beach House this past weekend and it was absolutely great! Jennie was at the front desk and was very professional and attentive. She offered rental bikes so we could take a stroll to East Beach, the SB Court House and all the way down State street. The room was clean. The patio was super cute. The location perfect, walking distance to everything. No complaints at all. We will be back this summer!
