What guests think

Across recent reviews of Riviera Resort & Suites, travelers highlight a convenient, near-boardwalk location and generally clean rooms and property, while noting basic accommodations in an older building, occasional maintenance or noise quirks, and limited after-hours support.

Service is frequently described as welcoming and accommodating, including early check-ins and occasional upgrades, though office hours and responsiveness after 10 pm draw criticism. Guests praise the pool and hot tub and appreciate on-site parking, though spaces can be tight or limited and a few note Wi-Fi or water-temperature issues. Room sizes and features vary from small basics to suites with balconies or jetted tubs, and some felt photos did not match. Expect a simple, beach-convenient stay with practical comforts.

It’s not perfect but it’s very good. Very clean. Nice private patio. Nice pool. A block from the boardwalk by the Doo Wop Diner and Morey’s Pier. Would gladly stay here again.

My real only complaint for the property was the water temperature when showering would go from warm to cold, to hot to cold to warm.... and then there was the fact thta we had to lrave early because of a power outage

The minute we stepped on to this property we felt good. The customer service was awesome. The rooms were clean. The pool was clean. The hot tub was amazing. Not a single person seemed unhappy here. We met some really good room attendants. A few steps away from the boardwalk. Definitely a plus if you have kids or are with elderly people. They get nothing but love and respect from me and my family.

I was a bit skeptical to stay here from past experiences at shore hotel/motels. I booked on the reviews, price and pictures alone. To my surprise this hotel was very clean and well kept. All newly updated, it is free parking (huge plus), my biggest pet peeve is cleanliness and it was clean with daily service. The staff was friendly, the pool was always clean as well as the grounds and loved the fact there was no smoking in the rooms or on the property. Don't hesitate to stay here. Right across the street from the boardwalk/beach walking distance to everything. Pleasant stay. Will stay here again.

Despite showing up hours before check in time the friendly staff graciously checked us in early and allowed us to park on the premises. We were also upgraded to a suite which was very much appreciated. Rooms were clean, staff was great, pool was perfect and location was within a less than 5 minute walk to the boardwalk. What more could you ask for? :) We will be back!

It was right behind the board walk super easy to get to the beach and boardwalk. Parking was super tight if you went out for dinner or to other areas, reparking was very limited. The room was a place to lay your head and shower. Room didnt look like the picture posted at all. Our bed wasnt remade after our second night and the sink wouldnt drain properly in the bathroom.we told the person who came to clean our room that second day.The pool and hottub looked clean only opened from 9am to 8pm .

Checking in was the easiest thing ever. Getting to the room was non-issue. Walking the boardwalk fantastic. What's not great is upon returning to the hotel after a few hours out on the board walk me and my partner returned to the room to rest. When taking the covers down we noticed not just one but a few stains on the sheets and mattress. We figured let us just pull out the sofa and sleep there.....Not even completely opened and there are bed bugs. Needless to say we did not stay the night. And now even after reporting issues to the staff, and asking for a refund to be credited. I'm not getting a single response. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Loved the pool area, the room started out ok, its a great location, everything is in walking distance, didnt have to move the car at all. Santiago was an excellent worker and helped with everything , Mike at check in was excellent. I however had a problem with bug bites, i thought it was in my head until I saw them all running rampant at night, must have killed a hundred of them,

The location of the property is the best part of the hotel. It's one block to the boardwalk, right near one of the piers. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the owner/manager was very accommodating, even with an issue during check in. The room was comfortable, with some extra little features (like the steam feature in the shower and a powerful A/C).

I would not go back there again. Everything was not the way it was showing in the photo. Nobody on premises from 10 o’clock until 9 o’clock in the morning there’s no phones and they also charge you for the keys. You turn them back in and they do not open until 9 o’clock in the morning, which I do not tell you that.
