What guests say
about staying here.
★★★★★
“Excellent experience overall. Couple things to improve. First, I didn’t know from initial communication my unit number. It took few minutes and a phone call to the management to figure it out. Second, there was a constant humming noise in the room, either from that giant air filter on the ceiling or fridge, I don’t know. My wife complained about it. But otherwise, everything was perfect.”
★★★★★
“Very practical and well appointed studio for a nice visit. super walkable. good value for the location and amenities, IMHO.”

I highly recommend this place whether you doing a solo road trip or with family! Parking is okay. if you have a bigger SUV, the parking spot is tight specially when you try to exit .”

“Excellent Stay at Casa Riviera – Immaculate, Luxurious & Perfectly Located! I had a fantastic stay at this brand-new rental apartment and would definitely stay here again! The Apartment The property was absolutely spotless upon arrival. The standout feature for me was the high-level bedding—the mattress was incredibly luxurious, and the sheets were top-notch quality, making for a perfect night's sleep. It's also fully equipped with all the amenities you could need, including convenient parking complete with EV charging stations. Location & Dining The location is unbeatable. It’s an easy, short walk to downtown and surrounded by fantastic dining options. I highly recommend checking out these spots just a block away: Zaytoon: Exceptional food and excellent service for dinner. Alesia Pasticceria: Incredible breakfast and pastries to start your day. Everything about this stay was seamless and high-quality. Highly recommended!”
