Always everything perfect
All the employee work so hard , this hotel is great for location .. dining
I was so upset I had to uber to Hyatt daily for the pool cuz I use a cane. It cost me just about 100.00 extra cuz your pool has been closed . Plus I don’t like roof too pools ! Thank you I’ve been to Riverside at least 5/6 times.
The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. We were told there was a wedding reception on the floor below us but never heard a peep. We had a great view of the river and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helped us print our luggage tags for our cruise the next day. The location was fantastic and was in walking distance of everything you could need. I will definitely be back and have already recommended this hotel to others!
The pool was closed for rennovations, which was disappointing as it was a very hot day and we were looking forward to relaxing in it.
The hotel is exceptionally beautiful, the location is great.
The staff at the Boathouse Restaurant was rude and could have explained the reservation requirement more politely and clearly. We understand that a reservation may be necessary, but the way it was communicated made the experience unnecessarily unpleasant. A more courteous explanation would have made a big difference.
bathroom wasnt clean, you can see the dirt behind the toilet around the facet
The rooms were quite large and location was perfect for finding a dining experience. People were friendly.
The price is high for what you get in services. The water is not hot enough for a shower. Would have liked more blankets and pillows.
צוות מקסים ומיקום מקסים
Amazing location directly in the heart of Las Olas surrounded by restaurants/shopping/bars. Quite a few small art galleries also. 5min drive to the beach area.
Had a wonderful trip with my Mom. Loved our stay and we will be returning again.
Nothing. Everything was wonderful.
The location was perfectly positioned and walkable, and the room was comfortable.
It's an older hotel but its still a great hotel, especially for the price.
Location
Small outdated bathroom. Small rooms.
O hotel é muito bom, confortável, bem localizado e com uma equipe atenciosa. Minha experiência com a hospedagem em si foi positiva. No entanto, tive um problema com o pagamento intermediado pela Booking.com. Eu havia pago integralmente o valor da reserva à Booking.com, mas houve uma divergência no valor repassado ao hotel, e fui cobrada pelo hotel por uma diferença que, na realidade, já havia sido paga à Booking.com. Quero deixar claro que não considero esse problema uma falha do hotel, que apenas estava cobrando o valor que constava para eles. O problema foi a forma como a Booking.com processou o pagamento e repassou o valor ao hotel. Entrei em contato com a Booking.com, mas até o momento ainda não recebi o reembolso do valor cobrado indevidamente. Apesar desse transtorno financeiro, gostei bastante do hotel e da hospedagem.
Não ter café da manhã e a piscina interditada
La posizione e gli interni dell’hotel
Soggiorno rovinato dalla mancanza di professionalità ed ospitalità. Mi hanno addebitato tasse che avevo già pagato qui su Booking ed in più un altro addebito di 48 euro così senza alcuna motivazione. Qui su Booking l’hotel non mi ha più risposto. Ho dovuto contattare il mio avvocato che sta intervenendo per farmi ottenere rimborso.

Staff not too welcoming
La posizione è la cortesia dello staff
First class stay! Quinto Perichon, the front desk manager was able to help us get an upgraded room and took very good care of us during our stay! The room was very clean and overall our stay was a fantastic experience. I would recommend to anybody and will definitely be coming back to the Riverside again.
You really can't beat the location of the Riverside Hotel—it's unbelievably convenient and accessible to everything. To top it all off, the service was outstanding across the board, from check-in and valet to the on-site restaurants. There is absolutely no reason not to love this hotel! While the bathroom could stand to be a little larger, everything was in perfect working order. Highly recommended!
My family all had late flights out of Fort Lauderdale after our cruise got it on a Saturday morning. We were able to rent a room for the day for a very reasonable rate, allowing us all to have a home base until making our way to the airport that afternoon. The hotel was clean and lovely, and the staff very accommodating. The hotel is located within a short walk from multiple restaurants and the river where you can hop a cruise for three hours or so to see the sights. I was highly impressed by the service we received and grateful for the convenience they provided. We will be sure to return next time we cruise from Port Everglades.
Absolutely loved our stay in every way couldn’t accommodate any better between the location. The beautiful atmosphere in the rooms were perfect and lastly, not least my favorite part was meeting. Quinto amazing help guided me straight to the room and more and made me feel like VIP will be coming again ASAP thanks again. Definitely ask for Quinto when you’re there or check in.
We loved the location along the water where we could see the yachts rolling in and out. Lots of shops and restaurants in the area.
Only downside was pool was under renovation but they had a sister hotel where kids could swim. This is temporary.
The moment you step in, you are greeted with upmost hospitality!! Quinto at the front desk made the check in process incredibly easy and made sure to explain all the amenities and local spots to check out!! Very happy with my stay here!
Rooms and location good
The pool was shut and nobody informed us before our stay. I picked this hotel as we were off a cruise and just needed to chill instead we had to walk to another hotel etc. We should have been informed
Mr Quinto, front desk manager, is such an outstanding person and treated me with such respect and dedication what a delightful person, I am so happy to be part of Stash, and I will keep recommending this wonderful historical hotel to stay in, thank you
Excellent location, clean, and classy. Located at the riverwalk, water taxi stop and Las Olas Blvd. The Riverside Hotel is the only hotel I would stay in for future visits to Fort Lauderdale.
We must thank Renee at the front desk for handling our visit from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism, expertise, and Customer Service skills of this property were very much appreciated. we’d like to also say that our experiences with Kavoen, Alan and Carolina were extremely pleasant. thank you all so much for making our anniversary stay exceptionally special. We cannot wait to return.
Historical property that has been maintained very well. Comfortable bed. Only stayed one night due to a flight cancellation. Loved the location and atmosphere of the downtown area. Would stay here again if in the area.
Beautiful room, fantastic location, and that wonderful old-Florida charm! We have stayed at the Riverside many times and keep coming back because it combines the character and feel of old Florida with all the modern amenities we enjoy. The location on Las Olas is perfect, and we especially love being able to walk along the Riverwalk right from the hotel. But what truly makes the Riverside special is the staff. They make us feel like we are coming home every time we visit. A special shout-out to Michael, Kavoen, and Alan, who could not have made us feel more welcome. Their warmth and hospitality are what keep us coming back. We absolutely love the Riverside and look forward to our next stay!
We had a wonderful family stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect — the room was clean and comfortable, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We felt very comfortable throughout our stay and truly enjoyed every moment. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to families!
Geweldige locatie. Aan de ene kant de rivier en aan de andere kant de boulevard.
Great service. Front desk Gisselle and Renee were amazing and upgraded us. Valet service was super friendly and helpful. Room was spacious. 100% would stay again
Location. And drink perk.
The room was small and near the elevator, which makes noise.
Room is great location and really clean!! Love the team at the hotel! Renee at the front desk was amazing!!!
Absolutely loved this hotel. Location location location. In the center of all the bars and restaurants. Alan is an angel sent from heaven. He would have been my best man at my wedding had I known his sooner. Love that guy.
Posizione
Mezzo vuoto ma nonostante questo mi hanno messo in una stanza senza vista e molto rumorosa
Great property, the AC worked superbly, location really nice - if you want shops and restraunts as soon as you exit. The bathroom shower could have been better I feel. Otherwise great for the price we paid, really nice location and really nice property
Riverside always my favorite place to stay when I’m in Fort Lauderdale. Beautiful updated rooms, great piano bar, pub, restaurant with water views, and a gym overlooking the river. Love it here and my go to year after year!!
Habitaciones grandes
No tenía la piscina disponible , estaba en obras . Nos cobraron parte del desayuno y lo teníamos incluido
The location and the staff.
Very noisy room next to the elevator and the ice cube machine. Woke up several times in the evening and in the morning because of this.
We had a wonderful stay there. We were sad that it was only for one night. Next time when we visit the FLL area we would stay there longer. Hotel is clean. Rooms are spacious. Pool is under construction right now. But we were well informed about that. And they also offer an alternative pool. next to the hotel you can use the free LaudeGo Shuttle bus or water taxi. Highly recommend this hotel
Quinto the front desk manager is great Staying at Fort Lauderdale location. Newly renovated and the best location. Eat breakfast by the street and you’ll think you are in Europe.
מלון מצויין במרכז העניינים. חדר גדול ומפנק.
The check in experience was beyond excellent Quinton at the front desk was very kind and we enjoyed his professional approach mixed with humor and a positive attitude. Guest services brought up coffee in the early morning. Still here another night in clean well equiped room.
Great location. Room was nice and very clean. Great price for the area. Boathouse restaurant was ok.
Could not find WiFi password. Sent text message to request it and never heard back.
Sem luz o suficiente no quarto, o mesmo estava sujo, qnd reclamei, nem limparam direito e permaneceu sujo, outro ponto me cobraram valor acima do fechado no booking, ja reportei e nao tive retorno
Hotel reflects it’s party location in a fun way
Feels a bit outdated and worn
I recently stayed with my daughter and some friends, we had a wonderful experience. Without us even asking, the front desk agent, Kavoen, noticed that we were traveling together and thoughtfully placed our rooms on the same floor, just a few doors apart. That level of attention and customer service made us feel truly welcome. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautiful. On Saturday night, the piano lady in the lobby created such a wonderful atmosphere. The lovely lady working in the lobby gift shop was also incredibly kind with my daughter! Very well managed hotel in an unbeatable location, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and everything Las Olas has to offer. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back!
Amazing experience especially Quinto the front desk manager 💗
Having a great stay at the Riverside Hotel in Ft Lauderdale. The staff have a culture that exudes hospitality, warmth and professionalism. The food and beverage options are excellent. We had a delicious supper at the Boathouse last night. The rooms are comfortable and appear to have undergone recent renovations. The hotel is clean, well appointed and has a great location on Las Olas.. The hotel is authentic and unique without the corporate feel I have experienced at other hotels. I highly recommend this hotel and definitely will return
We stayed in a junior suite in the Tower. The junior suite consists of a large room with a king bed, sofa, desk area, table, chair and floor lamp. The bed was very comfortable and with the occasional exception of hearing people talking in the hallway, the room was very quiet. The AC was super cold and also very quiet. There were two refrigerators in the room; one consisted of a drawer in the wall unit and the other was a free-standing fridge. I found a few small no-see-um bugs wandering on the desk area, not an uncommon thing in warm climates. There is no carpet in the room. The bathroom light and the lighting located under the room wall unit come on automatically whenever one walks nearby; the latter was too bright at night and disturbed us while sleeping when one of us got up to use the restroom. The bathroom itself was very large with good counter space. There are no robes in the room. The city view from Room 925 was quite nice, but in looking downward, there is a dirty towel lying on the roof. That said, I enjoyed seeing the city spread out towards the sea. There is a $25 destination fee which may be offset to some degree by a drink voucher. Self-parking is $30 daily or the valet is $40. Regrettably, the hotel pool is closed until October 2026. One can walk .3 miles down the street and use the pool at the Hyatt Centric. The hotel is located right next to the Riverwalk, which is a nice area to wander. Their location on Las Olas means you have easy access to tons of shops and restaurants with some great people-watching. We used the gym and found it had a good offering of bikes, treadmills and weights; the gym has huge windows that look out over the river, which made our work-out more appealing. Finally, we had a great breakfast at Gran Forno Pronto, located a few steps from the hotel. Go there! The food and staff were wonderful.
We have stayed at the Riverside Hotel many years, always in the original building facing Las Olas Blvd. This year we were upgraded to a room in the tower. The room was large, clean, the view was wonderful and the bed so comfortable we had a restful night's sleep each evening. The bartender was so friendly. He and the waitress in the resturant remembered us from last year. Everyone was so nice! We had a wonderful stay!
Every time we cruise out of Fort Lauderdale we stay at Riverside. The hotel is beautiful and you cannot beat the location right on Las Olas Blvd. It's can be a little pricey but we feel that the location is worth it. There are so many shops and restaurants right outside the door to explore and there is even a water taxi stop at the hotel. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. I also love the smell of the lobby and it turns out you can by the scent in the gift shop, I use the room spray all of the time at home. Was a little disappointed with this stay because there was no notification on the website or from the hotel that the pool was closed and under construction. We booked an extra night stay to have a pool day and unfortunately that would not be possible this trip.
From the minute we arrived the service was warm and friendly! Carolina and Quinto were the best!!! Our room was way better than we expected. We had a corner room with a balcony. Although construction on a high-rise was across the street, the room was surprisingly quiet. We will definitely stay more often! Being centrally located on Los Olas, it's a win-win! Highly recommend!
Booked the hotel due to its pool and being near the las olas restaurants. Am currently at the hotel. Booked through a third party who have told me that they too were unaware that the pool is out of use until October. Have been sent with two small kids half a mile up the road to use another hotel pool. Totally packed and not a single pool chair to use. Have complained to the hotel already to be completely fobbed off. Terrible customer service. Worst hotel service I’ve ever had in America. Multiple guests at the front desk all complaining there weren’t told the pool would be out of service. A real shame as the hotel is beautiful and the location is great
The staff was very welcoming, went above and beyond
Great location 💝
it was weird seeing the yellow water at first but nothing can be done about nature.
Localização e academia
Serviço péssimo, não tinha Pscina conforme encarte, estrutura muito velha Terrible service, there was no pool as shown in the brochure, and the facilities were very old.
Location was great and the staff that we interacted with were very friendly and welcoming, the riverhouse bar / resteraunt was very hany and the location is great
Its only a lttle thing but paying that much for parking when you have paid for a room and its the Hotels car park just feels like an extra tax, but it wouldnt prevent us staying there again.
Renee at the Front Desk was amazing! Traveling for work for 30 Years, this hospitality team is the best! Excellent place to stay- true high class!
We had an amazing stay at the Riverside Hotel! From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, and the entire property was exceptionally clean. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Las Olas Boulevard, with everything within walking distance. Having the attached parking garage made everything even more convenient. We also loved the gym and had a great experience at the Boathouse restaurant. Every part of our stay exceeded our expectations. If you’re visiting Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend the Riverside Hotel. We will definitely be back! ★★★★★
Gostamos muito do hotel. Roupas de cama impecáveis. Cama super confortável. Funcionários super educados. Tudo muito lindo e com cheiro gostoso.
Poderiam ter opção para separar as camas. Viajo com 2 adolescentes e é difícil encontrar camas separadas.
First time at the Riverside Hotel, traveling with my 15 year old son and his buddy. The experience for the boys and myself was outstanding. I want to thank Elizabeth and Kavean at the front desk for their warm greeting. They both were polite and welcoming. We stayed in a room overlooking the canal absolutely amazing. The room was spackling clean. I used the valet parking service throughout my stay. Kevin who worked the valet was very polite and prompt with the service. My boy used the hotel gym which he enjoyed very much. There are restaurants walking distance from the hotel. Also the beach is a 8 dollar uber ride. I would definitely return to the Riverside. Thank you
La hubicacion es 10 de 10 el acceso a taxi water al salir situado en el centro con tiendas de compra y bares y restaurantes a los lados
Es perfecto
Decoração, camas
Banheiro pequeno
Location is convenient.
To go to the pool you need to leave the hotel and cross the street to a different location. The style is kind of colonial so it is very dated. If you are looking for a modern update hotel this isn’t the one. Too pricey for what it offers.
La ubicación es fabulosa. Está en el centro de las Las Olas Blvd
Es un hotel viejo. Las instalaciones no están en buen estado.
Hotel bem localizado, na rua Las Olas. Camas confortáveis, tem o rio atrás, muito agradável o restaurante. Perto de lojinhas e restaurantes .
Piscina estava em reforma, então não pudemos usar. Não oferece café da manhã incluído.
The location is excelent and the people at the front desk is the best, specialy Quinto who can solve you any problem with an smile I’ll be back
This hotel is a beautiful location along the river. Design is impressive and comfortable. Every team member we have interacted with including Quinto the front desk manager has been welcoming and accommodating! Do yourself a favor stay at this fantastic property with great people.
Location. Size of rooms. Good valet parking
Classic rooms need urgent refurbishing. Laminate on floor moving. 1 inch underneath the door and floor. Bathroom old.
The hotel was in a nice area, and the pool was great. Good restaurants all around the hotel. And nice views.
Paying for self parking.
Everything. Great place to stay. Great room that makes you feel like at home. Staff super nice and professional. Location is ideal right on las olas way. Good price.
Nothing.
The excellent service started at the check-in receptionist and was maintained throughout. Great room in the Tower we were on 11th floor.
Really lovely hotel with a traditional decor and great facilities including a lovely restaurant by the River where you can watch the boats sail by. Numerous other bars and restaurants there too serving great food. Our room was very nice, but no view to speak of. The main negative thing I would say is the air conditioning in reception and the bars was too cold! Even with a jacket on we couldn’t enjoy the bar and cocktail area in reception because it was too cold! We had to go to another place over the road to eat, which was a shame and the hotel missed out on money because of this.
Great location and room
Nothing
The Riverside Hotel is inviting, has wonderful staff, convenient location, on property restaurants have great menu options and excellent food, including Happy Hours. The lobby bar is cozy & popular. The gym and pool offer canal views, are well maintained and equipped. You’ll find a variety of rooms to suit your budget. Highly recommend staying here.
Always always a beautiful property and a great location was sent to the part from a lot of the different hotels in the area
The location of the hotel is ideal. Lots of restaurants bars, shopping great location.
We went to Fort Lauderdale to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We are going on a cruise out of Port Everglades and ended up choosing Riverside hotel for a two days stay before. From the time we arrived and we’re dropped off the experience could not have been better. The Belman greeted us and took our luggage and was very friendly. We then went to the check-in desk where we were greeted by the manager.Quinto who could not have treated us any better. He made us feel special on our 50th anniversary and went out of his way to make our stay incredible. The rooms are beautiful, the location could not be any better on Los Olas Boulevard. I highly recommend if you were staying in Fort Lauderdale to highly consider this hotel. It is a boutique style hotel with three different bars in it plus the boathouse right across the street which an incredible restaurant. We could not have had better service from our bartenders, Debbie and William at Golden lion Village pub. Great happy hours.Very reasonably priced hotel,and I would definitely use this location for my pre-cruise stays. Thanks again.Quinto for an amazing day and making us feel special on our 50th anniversary.
The Riverside Hotel was the perfect choice for our group. The location is excellent and the facilities are very good, but the staff really made the trip. The concierges, Kevin and Alfredo, were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough to help us with great local advice and care, they even put up our CABO VERDE flags to support our team and Nation. The food at the hotel is also top-notch—especially the standout breakfast—and the prices offer great value for money compared to other spots nearby. Highly recommend!
Very nice and comfortable, with river view. Also, nice location with many restaurants and and walkable.
The Riverside Hotel is one of Fort Lauderdale’s best-kept secrets. Perfectly situated on Las Olas Boulevard, this charming boutique hotel delivers an experience that feels luxurious without the luxury price tag. The rooms are beautifully appointed, impeccably clean, and offer a level of comfort that rivals many higher-end resorts. What truly makes this property extraordinary, however, is its people. Hospitality like this has become increasingly rare, and the team here has absolutely mastered it. A heartfelt thank you to Quinto, whose concierge service is nothing short of exceptional. He has an incredible gift for making every guest feel genuinely welcomed, appreciated, and cared for. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail transformed my stay into something truly memorable. In fact, I had planned to move to another hotel, but because of the outstanding experience Quinto created, I happily extended my stay for several more days. I also want to recognize Carolina and Alon, who consistently greeted me with genuine smiles and impeccable service. Together, they have created a culture of hospitality that is authentic, thoughtful, and effortless. It’s clear this hotel has assembled a dream team that takes enormous pride in creating unforgettable guest experiences. In a world where exceptional service is becoming harder to find, the Riverside Hotel reminds you what true hospitality feels like. Whether you’re visiting for business, a weekend getaway, or an extended vacation, you’ll leave feeling like family. I can say with complete confidence that this will be my home away from home whenever I’m in Fort Lauderdale. I look forward to returning for many years to come and wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for boutique charm, outstanding value, amazing on-site restaurants on the water. Hope the ownership recognizes what an amazing dream team that they have in place ! Stephanie Verhalen
De tudo. Localização, comodidades com pormenores que fazem a diferença como por ex a luz que acendia aquando da aproximacao da cama; funcionarios simpáticos etc etc
O fato de não ter pequeno almoço incluido
Spotlight: Quinto! What combination do you want for your front desk agent? Good looking, kind/warm, positive energy, flexible, eager to please the guest… Quinto checks them all! Even at the late hour of 11 pm, Quinto was vibrant, energetic and ready to give us a super warm welcome. It set a really upbeat and positive tone for the rest of our stay. He embodies the ideal front desk agent and I’m so glad we got to meet him. Thank very much Quinto for that lovely, memorable welcome ❤️ Ace - (I hope I have the right girl!) Ace was so lovely and kind, her warmth felt genuine, not stiff and forced like you can commonly find at hotels. She was so helpful and patient when I called down to the desk. Thank you, Ace, for adding to our positive experience! Kirk - each time i interacted with Kirk, I was met with kindness. I know overnights can be rough. Kirk remains friendly and welcoming. MAX! In the restaurant! - thank you for being so very friendly! The other gentlemen working with you seemed and seemed annoyed I was there… you kept a friendly and positive vibe, I notice that and appreciate it very much. It made you stand out in there! I interacted with about 3 housekeeping staff, valet, bellmen and they were all on trend. Warm, friendly, welcoming. We were there for a wedding and I want to say to the chef responsible for the main dishes: WOW! That was the best wedding dinner I have ever had! 5⭐️ Overall it seems the person running the front desk and housekeeping are doing a great job maintaining an atmosphere where the employees are all very pleasant and show the guests a very positive and friendly attitude 👍🏾 Thank you Riverside Hotel, for a lovely stay! We hope to be back!
Great staff (valet, bar, front desk, convenience store, room service). Excellent location and facilities were clean and tidy.
Great customer service and cleanliness.
I love staying here. Great food at The Boathouse. The best pool in FTL. Sun all day. Smack in the middle of Las Olas.
Great overnight stay for cruise jump off, Hotel Staff is great and extremely helpful, Bar, restaurants, location and pool area can’t be beat for the price. Morning GM Kavolone (Sorry for the mis-spelling) Couldn’t be more accommodating.. ..will be extending our future stays.
Simply the best.
There was a small mixup about the billing. They fixed it and my account was fixed in minutes.
Great pool and location great. Staff were very helpful, especially Terrence!
Room wasn’t overly clean when we arrived, especially the bathroom and the floors in the room were dirty.
Great location! River view from our room! Staff were really nice!
Everything was good

Da demora em abrir a porta do banheiro que ficou emperrada , atrasou nossos compromissos por demora para consertar
Loved the hotel and underrated ‘star’ wise. Rooms were very spacious, well furnished, very clean and serviced well. The restaurants & bars were very good although the pub bar closed early at 10pm which meant you couldn’t watch the later World Cup games. The Boathouse restaurant on the riverside was excellent with a nice vibe. The gym above the Boathouse was simply the best gym I have been in, in a hotel of this standard and possibly higher. Staff were 1st class throughout our 5 day stay. Excellent hotel punching well above its weight
Great location. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff, nice rooms, lovely pool area, Boat House had very nice food and drinks with a relaxed atmosphere. Convenient in site parking. Great location next to the river.
Parking expensive but then I feel if you book a hotel you should have a parking space too.
The hotel was great, and the location was perfect.
The customer service was lacking. From the front desk staff to the dining in the Wild Sea restaurant. They were not friendly at all, especially the front desk. We did not feel welcomed at all. They could have at lrast smiled at us. The restaurant staff kept us waiting on several occasions/instances. We ate breakfast there twice. Oh, and the avocado toast is the worst I've ever had. There was too much lemon juice, and the description stated it was "lemon scented." The consistency was like it was put in a blender. The chef should be ashamed. Actually the customer service was very disappointing almost everywhere we went. Other than that, we enjoyed the hotel and the location.
The location was excellent. The room was beautiful . As was the whole hotel And lovely staff .
I didn’t like the fact that you had to pay for parking as it wasn’t cheap to stay there.
Me and my husband stayed at The Riverside couple time , we love it ! The rooms are renovated and they looks great . The pool area and Gym are amazing!!! The bar by the pool food and drinks r great. Also the front desk person, his name is Quinto , he was absolutely amazing, very nice , professional and helpful . Excellent customer service!!! We will stay there again soon !
Everything was clean and renovated
In all most, breakfast very good
