Great location! Walking distance to the funk zone and to the pier. Lots of restaurant options. Very small room & bathroom and the hotel doesn’t have an elevator so if you’re in the second floor u have to go up the stairs. I would stay again.

​We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riviera Beach hotel. The decor is incredibly cool and stylish, and the rooms—while on the smaller side, which is completely expected for a boutique property like this—were remarkably comfortable and well-appointed. ​The location couldn't be better. It was incredibly convenient to walk to numerous fantastic restaurants and take a scenic stroll over to Stearns Wharf. If you are looking for a cozy, character-filled spot in an unbeatable location, this is it!
