"Great hotel after a fun night in fort lauderdale"
The service was impeccable, the room was comfortable and had a great balcony . Great upgrades for not so much money !! Only annoying thing was parking , you would think they would have free parking but it was over 20 dollars ! Probably because it was such a hot spot , it was worth the money though.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Odd check-in experience but otherwise OK"
Something was going on at the desk which seemeed to occupy the entire staff for about 10 moinutes when I checked in, but finally check-in was quick when someone became available. A few minutes later I found the room was not what I requested; went back to the desk and had a surreal experince while a desk clerk tried to find me what I wanted (turned out […] they didn't have any Kings availble). Overall, (I was in the "Tower") the room was nicely appointed and if you spend your entire time in downtown Ft Lauderdale, the location can't be beat. I do wish ALL hotels would stiop using that chemical or wax or whatever on the bathroom floors that simply pick up dirt off the bottom of one's shoes and just smudge the floor. I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Riverside Inn"
Wonderful location in Ft. Lauderdale. I have recommended this to everyone I know for one of the most pleasant stays around. Summer rates are reasonable, winter rates are unreasonable. Right downtown, close to the Packard Museum, arts, parks, science museum, river walk. Food is good and bar is friendly. Would like to bring my dog and stay more often. […] Unfortunately, my golden retriever weight 93 pounds but is much nicer and better mannered than most children. Parking fees are extra, since we are all travelers, we do need a place to park and I find this like paying for bagage on an airplane, nickle, dime, etc. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Riverside Hotel - Fort Lauderdale very central"
Hotel was good and very central. We stayed 4 nights. Rooms were clean although towels were not changed during our stay only straightened up on the rails. (I only realised when I unfortunately got lipstick on one of the towels and it was still there days later). We also ate in the restaurant on one evening but found the particular option we chose was […] poor. It was honey chicken wings which were covered in fat and not crisped at all. Also with no accompaniments. Beds were interesting as I am quite small and they were so deep I felt like the princess and the pea. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Place to Stay in FLD"
This is definitely the hotel to stay at in Fort Lauderdale. The hotel is conveniently located with tons of restaurants and nightlife withing walking distance. The entire staff; front desk, parking valet, housekeeing, security and restaurant wait staff are the best!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Tres bon hotel bien situeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Riverside hotel - au coeur de las Olas blvd"
Hôtel de pur style américain avec sa décoration à fleurs, complétement dépassé si vous recherchez du design. Néanmoins le service est bon, le confort est bon , les chambres spacieuses. Toutefois Fort Lauderdale ne mérite pas de s'y attarder plus d'une après midi, il vaut mieux privilégier Miami ou Palm Springs qui sont nettement plus belles, avec beaucoup […] plus de vie.
