The Riverside is in a wonderful location in Fort Lauderdale, on Las Olas. We went to 2 of the restaurants and in both cases, staff were amazing. Thiago and Leslie in Wild Sea seafood rest were welcoming and attentive. So friendly. And the food was amazing. Also, the Golden Lion pub was fun and friendly with Debra behind the bar taking good care of us. The river walk is behind the hotel and lovely to walk along. Shops along Las Olas were plentiful as well as many restaurants. We chose to have our morning coffee next door to The Riverside at the Hollywood Donut Factory where the owner Bobby greeted us warmly and we felt so special. The coffee was the best and the donuts to die for. Try the Kronut - so good!

This place was average, I was not a fan of the smell in the hallway, it smelled like the carpet was old and dirty. The room ok , kinda small but. Was not a fan of having to walk across the street to go to the pool and to top it off was small. Best thing about it was the small bar in the lobby, great leachy martinis lol. Over the place is ok but not my best choice
