Top Stearns Wharf Hotel Reviews

Riviera Beach House

Riviera Beach House

8/10 Good
"The lobby and common areas of the property are very nice. There is a great outdoor lounge or work area on the 2nd floor, which was really cool for doing some early morning email catch-up. The location can’t be beat. Staff was very nice and helpful. The room was small but comfortable for one or two guests. The major downside was the bathroom, which was woefully small and poorly laid out. There is no real enclosure around the shower, which made it impossible to keep the floor dry. One person barely fit in the bathroom; certainly not suitable for a couple trying to get ready together. The room was relatively clean, however, I did notice that my white socks were pretty dingy after walking around. That floor hadn’t been properly scrubbed in a while. Overall would still recommend, especially because of the location."
