Great property! Beautiful grounds and location. Love the walkway along the water. Ate at the Boathouse for both lunch and dinner. Food and service was great and you can’t beat the views!

Liked: Staff & service
The rooms were poorly lit and the common area bathrooms were filthy with urine, fecal matter and blood on floors in one bathroom in particular. We were dress in our finest with expensive shoes and had to walk through areas that were not cleansed. It was a NYE Party that was expensive, but I'm not sure they had enough staff to keep up.
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.
