I liked that the hotel gave you a happy hour every day that stay there and that it was free and you got free coffee and water every morning, but that was it and you had to pay for your breakfast, but it was different options you could get. I also liked that they had two different pools you could go to. I also love the smell of the hotel, every time you walk in, it was like a fresh smell of flowers I also love that you could sit outside and just watch the view watch the people and then it was this guy. His name was Ronald. He is a big help to people that never been to Miami and he helped us go round to each place and showed us different places to go to and told us where to go to the eat and the attraction and stuff, he was a big help as well. I loved it there, and I will visit again.

Our room was lovely, the bathroom was clean and updated. My only complaint is that I wish there was a place to keep products in the bathroom. There was a tiny table in the corner that couldn’t hold anything and although pedestal sinks look good, they are very impractical. The bathroom was very roomy, it could have had a vanity table or a small storage unit.
I would stay at the Riviera again!

The property consists of four buildings, I prefer building # 1. The Lobby areas are all very lovely. The beds are comfortable, rooms are clean I would recommend this hotel and will definitely come back. My only issue was parking it’s $40.to park in the public garage closest to Hotel. You can pay to park on street for $3.00 an hour but only during day time. At night you can get towed easily. Penthouse is awesome! Amazing view!

Housekeeping barged in our first day of check in without knocking and when I tried to ask what they need, they just disappeared. No one came to clean our room till the 3rd day. Old rundown. The only thing nice was the restaurant in their property and they also allowed to keep our luggage after check out.

We were upgraded to a suite which meant a bigger bathroom + a sitting area. But in another building away from our other travel companions. There are lots of stairs for both buildings so if you're lugging big suitcases, prepare to haul them up. Our room hadn't gotten a good deep clean in awhile (hair on the bathroom floor, dusty doors). Fine for one night but if cleanliness is your #1 priority, choose elsewhere.

I was really looking forward to this vacation. The photos online looked like a dream but unfortunately when we arrived, it was a nightmare. The property was severely OUTDATED. The room was extremely overpriced for a very tiny space. The water pressure was horrible, for the shower and toilet. The room that was given to us was near the staircase and we heard nothing but the door slamming all night long. The bed was hard, not comfortable at all. Our room was never cleaned the whole entire stay. The hotel has a “free” happy hour for the guests but they only give you one free drink so please don’t call it a free happy hour. That was very misleading. The pool looked like something from the 70s. Nothing has been updated. The staff was nice at the front desk. But the overall experience was 3.3 out of 10.

The guy at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The woman was stressed, tired, and overworked and it showed. The property was a dive. Pics looked great online but our room was a dump. The shelf in the closet was broken so there was nowhere to put luggage except on the only two awkward chairs in the room. The shelf under the sink was broken and falling down, the tiny desk was wobbly and falling apart. Hardly any outlets to plug in phone chargers. The bed frame squeaked so loud that it woke my wife up any time I got up. The toilet seat was broken and delayed our check in because they had to repair it. The top sheet has stains on it, and the bathroom counter was dirty.. nothing looked or smelled clean or sanitized and there was hair on the bathroom counter and in the sink when we arrived. Towels that should have been white were dingy. Again, staff was nice enough but the room was garbage.

The hotel was old. There was portable air conditioning in the room, which meant the window was open all the time. When it rained, water came into the room and onto the floor. At night, until midnight, you could hear people talking loudly and music from outside. The shower had a technical issue: whenever you showered, water would run all over the bathroom. But the worst part was their impolite front desk staff, except for one guy at the front desk with glasses. The rest of them were really unpleasant, and Rocio was the most arrogant and impolite person I have ever seen in the hospitality industry.

Property itself was clean. The staff were professional, however there is no customer service telephone number that works. If you need anything you have to leave your room and walk downstairs. The bed was old and uncomfortable and walls are super thin, the person above me was walking around all hours of the night and it kept me awake because it was so loud. If you’re a light sleeper not the place for you. Food nearby is excellent and only a 3-5 min walk to the beach. Don’t get a car unless you need it, parking is additional and the lots are sketchy due to the neighborhood. There’s an area a few paces outside the hotel where a lot of loitering happens.

Pros:
Great location! 20m from airport, 2 blocks from the beach, restaurants nearby, public parking lot on 23rd st.- $20 for 24hrs, good sized room with balcony! Free morning coffee, friendly staff.

Cons: No cleanliness supervision. Bathroom was not cleaned. Lumps of hair in the shower, used razon and chewed gum on the window sill. Thankfully I always travel with flip flops to shower and clorox wipes fot the toilet seat.

Such a shame. They need ro invest on cleanliness and rooms reresh. At least the towels and sheets smelled like clorox and also looked clean. Overall good bang for your buck if you're ok with the above mentioned posibilities.

3/5 stars. After a long day of traveling, the check-in experience was disappointing. We arrived after the posted check-in time but still had to wait about an hour for our room. The staff member assisting us didn’t seem very welcoming, which made the wait more frustrating.
The room itself was decent for the area, but the shower turned cold halfway through. Overall the stay was okay, but improving the check-in process and guest service would make a big difference for future guests.

This was a very poor experience. I paid for a suit that was advertised to have balcony access. I quickly learned, upon my arrival, that there would be no balcony access. The door were taped up, as they were utlizing an air unit, pulling in air from outside? Because the room’s thermostat was broken.

I alerted Expedia, requesting a refund, as I paid for accommodations, i clearly did not recieve, but they declined.

Additionally, I tried to contact hotel multiple times, ahead of my arrival, and the phone number on file, was never answered once.

I would not stay here again, and very disappointed in Expedia’s lack of willingness to help resolve this.

To begin, the staff at the front desk is absolutely deplorable. We were in a building separate from the building where the lobby is and they continued to give us keys that did not work on our room door. After the third attempt, I tried calling the desk and as like every other time before with calling the front desk, no one answers. Then walking back to the front desk for the fourth time to get replacement room keycards, Nelson was absolutely rude and unhelpful. In addition upon our check-in, we found that the hot water faucet handle on our bathroom sink was nonfunctional. We told them at the front desk and told housekeeping every single day that we had no hot water from the bathroom sink. Yet, as with everything else, they were non-responsive and we never had hot water from the bathroom sink.

Bottom line, I would avoid this hotel at all costs.

Had to get a new key card everyday. Band from restaurant was right outside my window and played till 2 am every night. People sitting at the restaurant tables was less than a foot from my window and could hear everything they were saying when the band was not playing. Mini fridge on the floor leaked everywhere. Shower had no door so towels had to be placed around toilet to absorb water. Only mirror and sink was beside bed so to brush your teeth you had to sit on the bed. Only 1 person spoke english and he was on night shift. NO PARKING. Restaurant food was garbage. This place needs shut down immediately. I have no clue how they have stayed in business for 6 months. Oh I forgot GOOD LUCK getting fresh towels unless you want a fee.

Getting into the hotel was a little confusing because they have 2 buidings on the same street and across from eachother. Luckily, a guy who was entering into the building that I was trying to get into told me to go across the street. There was another couple who was also confused so it all worked out.

Checking in was stressful because I was on the plane when it was communicated to me that the property does not accept AMEX. Luckily my partner jumped in to save the day. I had been calling the hotel all week but they did not answer their phone.

Another nuisance was that I was not provided with my breakfast vouchers upon check in. I checked in at around 10pm so I was told I had to wake up at 7:30 am to get my vouchers.

The room was ok...it was not stocked so all we had was a fridge & we did not have a phone so I had to roam to make local calls.

Other than that it was a lovely stay. There were many food options and the beach was relatively close by. You could walk or jump on free tram to get there.

The hotel had a nice roof top pool with loungers which was nice.
We had a balcony facing the main street & the hotel had a daily free happy hour where we could get a free drink.

I would definitely return again. Overall Id rate my experience an 8/10.
