United States, March 2024

The room was equipped with a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. the bathroom included shower cap, hair dryer, and lotion pack. Convenient 10-minute walk to the boardwalk beach.

Felt very well taken care of, nothing too much trouble.

7.0/10

United States, October 2023

Had two separate rooms in our suite, perfect for some personal space with family. Convenient kitchenette with all the essentials to prepare quick meals. Appreciated the earplugs provided due to noise from the boardwalk.

The room faced a noisy intersection with bright lights, making it difficult to sleep. the bathroom floor was uncomfortably cold without a rug.

8.8/10

The room was cozy, with a king bed and a queen bed for a good night's sleep. the bathroom was stocked with free toiletries.

The room was a bit noisy due to traffic; earplugs didn't help much.

My stay at Riverside Inn & Suites was amazing. the staff was incredibly friendly, the room and bed were spotless, and the kitchenette was a great value for cooking. Quick hot water, polite guests, and convenient location near downtown and the boardwalk made my experience wonderful.

Minor transportation issues occurred.

Omg, the best part of my stay was the delicious mexican takeaway nearby! 😍 room was small and outdated, but staff were kind and friendly. Just be cautious at night around the area. Breakfast was a joke though.
