“great for the price”
very relaxing hotel nothing is too much for the staff, great location for all the local attractions , wish we could have stayed longer
“Las olas best option to stay.”
In the heart of las olas close to everything.
“Best place to stay in Ft. Lauderdale!!”
This was my second stay at the Riverside and both times, they exceeded my expectations. I stayed in the Tower with a balcony and two queen beds. We had views of the city and intercoastal which were beautiful. The hotel has an ice skating rink next door for the months of November to early January and my son skated there every day....it was the highlight of his trip. We ate at the Indigo in the hotel and food was great. We also ate across the street at Cafe de Paris and we loved their fixed priced dinners....fabulous. The hotel is warm and inviting with a wonderful staff. I can't wait to go back!!! I miss it already and I just left this morning.
“great price for a safe and clean hotel”
the room was small but very clean and the staff were more than helpful. execelant area close to downtown and shoping just across the street. the best thing about the hotel is how plesant and helpful the staff is.
“A must stay.”
Excellent rooms, great location. Service was outstanding as were the on site facilities. the business room was provided at no charge so we could print out boarding passes, but the printer was from the dark ages.
“lauderdale auction”
Great value.downtown.Water taxi behind property ,you can take it to the beach or whisky river. The breakfast is best in town and there is an intalian bakery across the street if you want coffie an pastrey.Staff has prefected NICE without overdoing.My frinds had a dog and they have some rooms in a seperate part of the hotel for that purpose.parking is expensive 23.oo per day.The airport tax is 33.00 per day.Taxie to hotel is 28.00 plus tip.Go to the hotel and the rental company will bring you a car any time you want. Lauderdale was VERY quite when I was there.You probabably could get a deal if your plans were flexable.Mine were not[ business]
“Riverside Hotel”
Very nice hotel with a fantastic location. Perfect for all activities in and around Las Olas.
“Enjoyed our stay”
We stayed in the newer tower...I heard the rooms in the older part are smaller. Guests should be aware that the pool is across the street from the hotel. This hotel is very convenient for those wanting to visit the shops and restaurants of Las Olas.
“Such a Romantic Site”
The hotel is right in the heart of things in Fort Lauderdale. The walk on Los Olas was fun and offered shopping, eating and nightlife. We had to drive to the beach but then we are not big beach people so that wasn't a big deal. The swimming pool was very nice. Riverwalk is a short walk away as well as the Art Museum.
“Very impressed”
Just returned from The Riverside Hotel Fort Lauderdale. We had a wonderful time. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant (we only used the Indigo) was excellent. The hotel was in a very convenient position on E Las Olas Blvd ideal for restaurants, shops and water taxi. Would love to go again should the opportunity arise.
