“The Truth”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

I was at first I ignored the bad reviews and aimed at the good ones. That was a horrible choice. I was very unsatisfied. Let's start with the room. Most of the drawers fell out when you pull them, the beds had alot of weird stains, and the bathroom had dirty black specks in it. The pool was okay, the first few days had a ton of leaves in the pool. The hallway was really dirty, the carpet was ripped and teared and had smelly stains everywhere. I was wondering why they didn't PUT any room pictures on the website. Obviously when you look at the outside, it seems amazing by the bright colors. Wrong again. The rooms we booked were all different. One with 3 beds, one with 2, one with a couch, one without one; even though we asked for the same rooms. The air conditioning was perfect for a hot day. Close to the beach, no crossing streets. Overall I was disappointed and wouldn't come back.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012

I wouldnt have a problem coming back to the Riviera if it wasnt for their rude staff. After coming home at night and realizing we didnt have a remote for the tv, we went to go ask for one. There was one guy at the desk and after asking for a remote i was told " you have a remote" I told him again we didnt have a remote in our room and he replied " you have a remote go find it." It was late at night and neither my friend or i were up for arguing so we left and went back to our room. During checkout time i didnt want to deal with another rude person so i let my friend check out for us. She walked back outside without our $100 deposit. The same man conveniently forgot to give her back the deposit. ( she never stood at a motel before and forgot all about the deposit we put down) Also, after inspecting the room during checkout he had the nerve to ask us where the remote control is! I left the motel disappointed that i ever paid money there.

“Place to sleep”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

I stayed here for a week with a few friends. Not the classiest hotel, but it was a cool place to sleep. I will say the rooms are bigger than most hotels. We had an efficiency with 2 full beds and a pull-out couch. The air conditioner keeps the room cold. I wouldn't recommend it to families, but if you need a cold room to lie your head at night close to the beach, this is it.

“NEVER AGAIN!!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 11, 2011

lets start with the bad...smelly hallway, smelly room, room was not up to date, hole in the shower curtain, no mini-fridge, terrible bed felt like springs were jabbing you in the back all night, parking was not engineered right if you park under the building, dirty windows going out to balcony, mirror in bathroom was made for people 6 foot or taller, AC unit was not proper size for the hole that was in wall you could see to the outside in some spots, and the list goes on....but the best part was the housekeeping they kept the room clean and with fresh sheets and towels(smell of the room went away more once housekeeping was in there the first day but something still lingered around). the location is also nice due to it being so close to the boardwalk.....but the bottom line is ill never stay here again ill pay the extra money to stay somewhere nice n descent
