The RIU is brand new, and it’s obvious they’re still trying to find their groove, but it’s a very nice hotel with helpful staff.
The room was clean and very comfortable, however the tv in the middle of the room is an odd aesthetic / design decision. Not a problem, just a little unusual. Ideally, there’d also be 2 pillows per guest, as opposed to only one each. Again - no big deal. I’m sure they would’ve brought more had I called.
I think the RIU will be a great downtown option. Hopefully the room prices stay reasonable, as opposed to the $500-$800/ night rooms for the other hotels in the vicinity.
