The hotel was very modern and clean. The staff was very helpful, friendly and nice. The hotel was very close to the Train station and the beach. There were lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The space was extremely well located and very convenient. The rooms are so small, it was difficult to fit two full sized suitcases in without knocking them over when you tried to move around. Everything was walkable and the hotel had a lot to offer
Great location, clean rooms, some say the room is small but I think it was perfect, had everything you need especially if you are there to enjoy the city and not stay in the room! Highly recommend, will be back!
The wifi was shaky where we were, so beware back of the building. Also toward the back, the garbage truck went by very early and was loud, sure to wake you up. The rooms were very small, ok if you are ok with Japanese size. The staff was great. Keep in in mind there is no restaurant/bar. The location is excellent.
Good: location, A/C, beds, cleanliness, coffee bar
Could use improvement: inconsistent helpfulness of staff: we were quoted several different prices for parking at the hotel. Also told there were no extra pillows, then later when we asked someone else we were given some.

We had a pleasant stay a the hotel riviera beach house
The receptionist Tristan was calm a collect as we
had a small issue with one of the rooms and he didn’t hesitate to adjust and comp us accordingly
We go to this beautiful hotel every year for the 4th of July and it has nothing short then a special place for us. We highly recommend this hotel and we will be back next year
Nice staff, great location. Rooms where super small and very outdated. Not worth the almost $800 / night after fees and parking. Try Hotel Santa Barbara for similar pricing and much nicer rooms.
Location was perfect and the rooms were exactly as described. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Beds are super comfy with perfect selection of pillows.
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!
