It was excellent that the room was available 2 hours early. Spacious room. The bed was like a rock. Hard as can be and sleep was very uncomfortable. The pillows were tiny. I solely would not stay here again for that reason alone. The location is great and the staff was friendly.

Great location on Los Olas. Great restaurants within a very short walk, as are many shopping options. The view over the New River was fantastic from our room. Balcony was covered so even if it rains, you can still sit out and watch the yachts float by. It was a $21 by uber to the FLL airport.

We have stayed at the Riverside Hotel many times in the past and found the rooms to be very comfortable. This time since we would be spending the day/evening with our family at their home we decided to save money and we booked a Micro room. The room, while a decent size, was very sparsely furnished and not very comfortable. It was noisy being next to the elevator and directly next to the housekeeping room. So, I guess you get what you pay for. Next time we will definitely book a regular room!

It was great. Good restaurants & bars, Great location close to restaurants and great shopping. The room was large and comfortable. Only one minor complaint which we never shared with the hotel. The room was a little cooler than we like, and the thermostat didn't seem to control the temperature. Even so it was a great stay.

Appreciated the no hassle early check-in. Our first room had literally zero view - the windows were all covered to hide the view of the roof outside. This gave the room a jail like atmosphere. Some creative rooftop landscaping could easily address the lack of view. The desk advised all the rooms were like that and it definitely would have influenced our choice to stay here if the listing was transparent about this.The front desk found us a better room and saved the day. $7.00 bottled water? Over priced tap water is everywhere but in a room where the signs in the room warn about the yellow tap water, complimentary distilled water would be a nice touch.Overall a great stay and excellent holiday atmosphere in an awesome location.
