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.

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

I booked a room with two beds and was given a room with one bed. The receptionist stated Expedia gave the okay for this change without consulting me prior. I was not given any notification the room had changed until I was on site checking in. This was unacceptable. I had to pay for a second room which was very frustrating.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
