We got on deal on hotels.com for $99.00 a night. Parking was extra, I believe it was about $13.00, real convenient though, parking garage has elevator to the lobby. Once in the lobby, check in was smooth and friendly. Once in the room, it was comfortable and clean. The hotel is from the 1930's but has been updated many times. The location couldn't be better, fine dining and clubs are all within walking distance.

Would definitely stay again.

This is a nice older property in a great location. Easy to walk to restaurants and shops nearby, and a nice lounge / garden area.

My room was clean, but definitely needed to be updated. Nice tile in the bathroom, but the pictures and furnishings are just out of date. The bed was horrible, but other than that it was ok.

We were a party of six (over 60) who stayed at this hotel for four nights post-cruise. We originally stayed in another hotel in Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise but on our travels came across THE RIVERSIDE and could not go past it. This is the best thing we did as it was the perfect end to our holiday.

It was everything we expected and more; we had breakfast every morning in the hotel and people watched in the evening.

All the staff were welcoming and efficient; could not do enough for us.

We were in the tower and the rooms were excellect overlooking the river walk.

We will definitely stay again if ever in this area.

Stayed there through Fay in August 2008, business trip, in the Tower on the 12th floor. Good room, ok shower, balcony, but the plastic balcony furniture was inside the room to save it being flung around by the storm. Bathroom nothing special , bit Hiltony, and ugly little soaps etc. Bring your laundry to check in by 9am for same day service, do not rely on pick up.

Stayed three nights, two at $169 dollar and one at $199 dollars, breakfast great and best value at 8 or 9 dollars for the Indigo breakfast, two eggs over medium, bacon, potatoes and crap coffee ( which you don't have to drink). Restaurant staff looked a bit careworn and didn't make friends, efficient but beaten down a bit, not smiling ( any of them) or making eye contact.

The bar is nothing and about the size of a bedroom, and the other bar is in reception. Fast check in and out, card reader kept cancelling so I had to get the card remagnetised twice while I was there, though I may have put it in my pocket with my mobile phone. Had a fire alarm after midnight due to some jerk guest smoking in his room, and the hotel was emptied out, 12 stories down the steps in my sleep with my hurriedly packed bag.

Efficient I suppose, and would certainly stay again as the hotel is fine itself, but it sure doesn't feel like a home from home, unlike the Ritz Carlton group. However it is on Las Olas, a strange shopping street, but home of O'Haras where you should get in about 8pm, belly up to the bar on the left as you go in and drink $5 beers until you fall off your shadow while listening to great music. You can get food sent in, which allows the patrons to smoke in the bar, hard to love that, but the bar is not smoky. Tip the staff lots, they are real nice folk.
