Top Lower Riviera Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff and housekeeping services! Would highly recommend to anyone!"

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel was really well located. I could get up in the morning and walk to a lot of areas. The room was fine. The outside deck was nice. The patio pool area was beautiful. The bar and kitchen were good. My only area of concern was the bathroom the bathtub had a lot of mold and looked pretty gross so that just needs to be taken care of, but I thought the property was very nice."
