Riviere South Beach Hotel

Here is my honest review, I booked 3 rooms and paid over 2k dollars for 3 nights. Very expensive to start. It’s not a nice looking property from the outside even though it seems like it on the hotels advertisement. I got a room on the first floor and the keypad didn’t work very well. I go into the room and it smells like mold. Very musty. There was nothing really special about the room. It was small, but it did have a nice sized closet, but the building itself was rented down. I went to my sister-in-law room, which was a cross from me, and her room was missing a mirror, and there was just a piece of plywood against the wall of the bathroom. We were told that we get breakfast complementary in the morning. I went. And literally they only give you one croissant and offer you toast and cereal. Orange juice and coffee are included. There’s nowhere to set so you either have to eat outside on the patio or take it back to your room. And they are very stingy. You’re only allowed to get one croissant. The pros are that it is walking distance to the beach. However, there is no parking available. So you do have to drive around for at least 20 minutes. Searching for parking. I probably will not stay here ever again. The people were nice that worked there, but for the price that I paid, it was not worth it at all.

Spacious room Location from event being attended. Breakfast area too small.

The only thing that was good about this hotel was the location. Short walk to beach and main streets. Room was dated and had a moldy smell to it. The wall air conditioning unit above kitchen sink was falling apart. There were several tiny bugs that were coming in through the window in the bedroom... made me nervous about bed bugs. I was freaking out a little bit. There is no elevator so if you're on the 3rd floor like I was and have to bring large and heavy suitcases up 3 floors, good luck!! Also, parking was awful. We were told there was parking nearby, which there was but lots were completely full. There was no valet parking and it was a huge PIA to find a parking garage available when you're not familiar with the area. Breakfast was OK, but the space is extremely limited so be prepared to sit on a couch and eat from coffee table. Gets really tight when there are more than 10 people in there to eat and everyone is literally walking into eachother and we can't get around one another easily.

Location was perfect! Clean spacious room and finding out we got to use the set up beach loungers was an added surprise! Nothing

This hotel is not the kind of place with large rooms, extensive amenities, or a big breakfast buffet. It’s a small, clean hotel that works best if your plan is to spend most of your day outside. It’s a great option if you just need a comfortable place to shower and sleep. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the location is excellent. The beach, shops, pharmacies, restaurants, and liquor stores are all within walking distance. They also provide two beach chairs at no extra cost, and you can rent an umbrella if you want one. The downside is that there’s no ice machine on the property, the breakfast is very limited, and there are times during the day when the staff is not on-site, so getting assistance can be difficult. For me, it worked well because I was out exploring most of the time, and I had a great trip. The breakfast attendant was very sweet, and the front desk staff was friendly whenever they were available. Just keep in mind that if you're looking for a full-service resort experience, this may not be the right fit for you.

The environment is very nice The room cleaning service could be a little more efficient.

Good location Very unclean rooms and facilities. Did not feel safe in the hotel. Had to leave after 30 minutes there and book another hotel last minute due to the state of the room and safety concerns

The property is well located and the staff are very welcoming. Breakfast is limited (continental breakfast).

Good location

Great location to South Beach Room and beds very comfortable

I didn’t like anything at all The room was very unsafe. There was two locks . One was totally broken and the other one was barely closed. We found on One of the bed lots of flying bugs, also our hidden camera detector was beeping on the bedroom mirror. The phone had no dial tone. There was nobody at lobby after 11pm.. we had to evacuate immediately and had to book another hotel at the midnight. The next day we informed the hotel receptionist about all the situations, she said they will give us refund but once we left they refused to process any refund .very bad experience. Dont recommend at all

Only location was good. There was an extremely strong smell of mold and dampness in the room. We requested to move to a different room, but our request was denied. The only solution they offered was to spray air freshener in the room. This was not a solution; it was merely a brush-off. We will be returning to Miami, but we will never choose this hotel again. The breakfast was also very inadequate.

Great location, two blocks from the beach. Staff was very kind and helpful
