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.

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.

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.

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

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.
