I love the location. The only thing I didn’t like is that the rooms are very small with only a closet and 1 shelf for storage.

Riverside Hotel has a great balance!

Very clean. Great location. Great views! Spacious Balconys. They succeeded in combining old charm from its original footprint and a classy flare! River views. Restaurants eclectic shops, lovely River Walk! Night time on the streets was peaceful after 10:00! No craziness! We would definately stay here again.

An old hotel, but quite good. At breakfast there were lot of people (a baseball team) so it took lot of time to get served. But anyway, all good.
