Incrível
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Não ter café da manhã e a piscina interditada

Addebiti illeciti su carta di credito. Scegliete altra struttura
Pros:

La posizione e gli interni dell’hotel

Cons:

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.

Unbeatable Location and Top-Notch Service at the Riverside Hotel
Pros:

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!

Top-notch in every way!
Pros:

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.

Great Post-Cruise Experience
Pros:

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.

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
