This is the best place to stay if you don't care about being on the beach. The hotel is a wonderful example of what we think of as old Florida, tile everywhere, open doors, lush foliage, and superb service. Plus you have all of Las Olas Blvd. with its many restaurants and shops available to you all day long. We... More

Got this through Priceline and we are used to 4 and 5 star resort hotels. We were a bit skeptical after seeing the picture of the hotel but it was just for a night. We bought 3 rooms, one for kids, one for sister and her husband and ourselves. It was a 7$ cab ride from airport, first surprise. Hotel... More

Stayed here recently. My room was very large and comfortable. The Riverside Hotel is located right downtown Ft. Lauderdale on Las Olas Blvd. It is located almost on the river, so if you get a room in the tower overlooking the river, you have a nice view of the river and boat activity on it. There is a walking path... More

I stayed here one night prior to a cruise. Used Priceline. Reception were terrific. Friendly and efficient. I had room 305 in the main building. No view and close to the road but still very quiet. For an extra $20, I could have upgraded to a Tower room but I was just there for one night so it was not... More

The Food and service at this hotel is excellent - it is more of a boutique hotel, ,the rooms are old and dated and are in need of a face lift, The location has nice shopping and resturants within walking distance. Bottom line- the location and food are great, but I would not stay there if you are looking for... More
