1 day before our cruise

What a beautiful hotel at the perfect location. We wanted to be able to walk out the door and be in the middle of all the action - a great variety of restaurants, venues, and shops. We arrived early due to our flight time and they had a room available immediately. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. My only issue was our room was located next to the elevators so it could be a little noisy at times. We would request a room further away next time. We will come back!
It's so lively at night!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Hotel. Though this is an older property it is very well maintained and has great amenities. The Happy Hour each night offered half price cocktails and a good variety of food options. The hotel is close to many excellent restaurants and shopping but the best feature is being so close to the boardwalk area along the intracoastal waterway. We highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Fort Lauderdale.
