Most convenient hotel to Las Olas and water taxi

We love the Riverside! It is a beautiful hotel within walking distance to many restaurants and shops on Las Olas Blvd, plus it is close to the water taxi stop. The beds are very comfortable and it’s very nice. We stay there every year when we visit Fort Lauderdale prior to our cruise.

Riverside is a beautiful hotel, in a very convenient location. My only issue was our room, 636, overlooked a back parking lot and there was an outdoor wedding taking place. The music was so loud with the bass reverberating through the windows of our room, and we could not sleep. I called down at 9:30pm, and they said to wait until 11pm…as the noise had to be shut down at that time. We had a long day of travel and were exhausted, I could not fall asleep through the vibrations. I went down to the front desk and they apologized, but the property was sold out and there was no where they move us to. They did take some money off our room, and were very apologetic about our circumstances. Also, without a wedding, I would still avoid #636, as it’s right beside the elevator and being an old hotel; each time the elevator was called it would ding and we could hear the mechanism of the elevator going up and down, was a very awful sleep for us. I would stay there again, as the convenience and location of the property was fantastic, I would just request a room in the tower of the hotel.

Our room wasn't ready upon arrival. The gentleman checked us in and we asked him to call when it was. Checked again about a half hour later and our room was available but no one notified us. We were just hanging out in the lobby waiting. Other than that, great location.

1 day before our cruise

What a beautiful hotel at the perfect location. We wanted to be able to walk out the door and be in the middle of all the action - a great variety of restaurants, venues, and shops. We arrived early due to our flight time and they had a room available immediately. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. My only issue was our room was located next to the elevators so it could be a little noisy at times. We would request a room further away next time. We will come back!
It's so lively at night!
