The hotel itself was nice, cute and clean. My experience was tarnished by the front desk employee named Marilyn. She was rude, angry and had an attitude. I was checking in at 7 am on a Saturday and had made reservations for Friday night check in knowing that i would not be able to check in so early in the morning. I paid for a day (Friday) that I knew i wasn't going to arrive until the next day. Out of hundreds of other hotel's, resort, air bnb's I chose yours. Only to be greeted with a disgruntled employee. I tried to explain my situation, I had called on Friday evening and spoke to Walter to explain my early arrival the following morning and he was going up leave a note to advise the morning staff. But Marilyn just rudely and sternly advised that check in was at 4pm. She didn't let me finish my sentence. After she realized that I had reservations she continued to check me in. She accused me of not saying good morning to her after I returned the same attitude she had and was giving me..excuse me. Am I an employee of the Riviera? If she doesn't like dealing with customers then she is in the wrong position. She gave me a room that was a lower category that I had paid for. I went back to her to tell her that I had paid for the 1 bedroom suite with living room. She said that was all she had. I requested to speak to a Manager because I refused to be treated poorly from her going forward. I worked with Opal who made the room change to the room I paid for. I wouldn't stay agai

Property was perfect for my vacation. Check-in was quick and friendly. There were a few quirks with my key not working once or twice and I had to wait one day to get my room straightened out, but I enjoyed my stay. It was within steps to Collins Ave and the beach, allowing me to hang out and enjoy the beach at sunrise. There is lots to do, including the Miami Convention Center, Botanical Garden, and lots of food and shopping. If anything there were tiny details in the room that could have used attention, but I was otherwise comfortable and feel this is a jewel of a location to invest in. Great for solo travel.

There was a strange smell in our room, the smell was a mold or mildew smell, and rotten eggs. The ceiling look like as if it’s growing mold on it, not sure if it was made that way but I doubt it. The floor was very wet and moist our whole stay. When we first checked in we had towels but there weren’t any small face towels, when I asked for face towels I was only given 2 towels after we had been there for 2 days already. Every time we left and came back we noticed that housekeeping entered our room but didn’t clean just took towels and didn’t replace them, if they did it would be all big dry towels no face towels. The restaurant that’s connected to the hotel the food was horrible and the 2 female waitresses were very rude, and had very bad attitudes because they had to do their job. I asked the front desk for a manager and was told that they don’t do business with them. The overall room was okay despite the horrible smell and no face towels in our room upon check in and also the floor being moist and wet our whole stay. Me personally wouldn’t stay here again the next time I visit Miami.

Great location and amenities

The hotel and amenities were fantastic. Location was great. Rooms need to be more upgraded with smart TVs and phone plugs. Housekeeping staff were all fantastic and above and beyond. Front desk staff were very unfriendly, didn’t welcome or smile, and unwilling to help. Exact opposite of the housekeeping staff who smiled

This place was fabulous. Check in was easy, efficient and welcoming. The staff is so freakin nice!!! I’ve stayed many places in South Beach… this one has a kitchen in it, allows dogs, and separate bedroom area. Def worth the upgrade! The beach is within walking distance, CVS and Joe and the Juice just around the corner. I would recommend this place!!
