    perfect location
    fantastic vibe
    expensive parking

    Had an awesome time with friends! The location is perfect for visiting the Pavilion and checking out nearby music venues. While the rooms are cozy, they have a fantastic vibe. Just a heads up, parking is valet only and a bit on the pricey side.

    The parking situation is not great. Expect to shell out $48 per night for valet, which feels excessive considering the limited spaces available.

    cozy lobby
    tiny bathroom

    Super clean and chic hotel with lovely terraces for the sunbathers. Free coffee bar and fresh fruit water made mornings delightful. Loved the cozy lobby vibe!

    But honestly, I felt like I was rooming in a shoebox and the bathroom? Let’s just say it’s a surprise party waiting to happen.

    great location
    million-dollar views
    small room size

    We had an awesome time during our group trip! The spot is really close to the Pavilion, and we enjoyed soaking in its million-dollar views. The location is perfect for hitting up cool bars and eateries nearby. I recommend checking out the local food scene and beach.

    One downside was the small room size. it felt cramped at times especially since there was no privacy in the bathroom. We all had to coordinate our schedules when it came to using the bathroom.

    limited privacy

    We had a delightful family stay at Riviera Beach House! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our room, though compact, had all the essentials and was designed thoughtfully to maximize space. Plus, the common areas were charming and inviting, which made our evenings enjoyable.

    The room was smaller than expected.

    friendly staff
    awesome views
    small room

    Had an awesome trip with friends and loved the location! We caught a show at the Pavilion and enjoyed the views. Perfectly situated near the beach and buzzing spots, we had everything within walking distance. The staff was friendly and the vibe was great. Just know parking can be pricey.

    The room was quite small, and we struggled a bit with the awkward bathroom setup. It definitely lacked privacy for a group of friends. For anyone who values more space, this might not be the best fit.

    Great Location and Friendly Staff

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially since it was a short walk to the beach and the vibrant Funk Zone filled with cool spots to eat and drink. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated the complimentary bicycles for exploring. However, the room was quite small, making it a challenge to maneuver around my luggage.
