Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great but just one thing."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Super location. Super staff. Rooms are fine. The only thing is that the mattresses are not up to Hilton/Marriott standards. Everything else is great!

"Always Pleasant"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
My family and I have stayed at the Riverside for 18 straight years around the winter holiday season except 2020 due to Covid. We always have a great time and the staff from the valets, room service and front desk are top notch. The addition of the Boathouse restaurant a few years ago was great and this year we were presently surprised by the upgrade to the executive tower. Thank you Riverside.

"I am SO IMPRESSED with your service! I'm just getting started planning our conference for next year. What a gift to find a site through which I can screen multiple bids, without contacting multiple hotels individually. Plus I would never have thought to contact many that we are getting bids from! And all the booking can be done through your site? And you'll help with every possible need? What a God-send!" J.M. - Dallas, TX
