“RUDEST STAFF I EVER MET!!! POOL FULL OF MOLD!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

person found this review helpful

Where do i begin! Ive never met an entire staff thatwas rude-untili stayed here! I was there for over a month.the first 16 days i didnt have hot water! At all! The "handy man' "fixed" it 4 times, each time tellin me it had been fixed, WRONG! Then when I wanted to switch rooms, they offered me a room that REEKED of cat spray. So i had to choose, no hot water or a room full of cat spray? These were the only 2 rooms they said they could give me! I choose no hot water. Then finaly I got to change rooms to another. The phone didnt work or the remote to tv! Handy man "fixed" phone 3times, after 3rd time, I gave up and let it go. Their pool is full of mold. Anyone can see it! It's all over the inside of pool walls and floor of pool! The people staying next to me had to bring their kids to hospital cause they both got really sick for swimming in the pool of mold! Health dept. was called twice there the last week i was there. And the rudest staff ever! I never written a review for a place of business my entire life, but after this place, i had too figure out how to, so i could warn people! I'm telling you DON'T go to riverside inn! ,It's terrible! Oh, specially if you have children! Drugs are in the public's eye everywhere there and they don't even care! Cause they are the laziest and most terrible grumpiest staff ever! I just cannot believe they get away with running a hotel with those conditions !

“Liers and Cheats Please read!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2010

We booked 7 days in this hotel and were not sure as to how long we needed it for exactly. We were told that we may check out at anytime and be given a refund for what ever days we haven't used. We stayed for two days and were horrified by bugs in the bathroom along with a major split in the bathtub. We tried getting a different room and were told "NO". We than told the lady at the desk we would like our refund and that we will go to another hotel, She told us "Ok", She had us sign our paper work for checkout and declined us our refund. We then told her to give us our money that was never used and she told us no and that she was calling the police to have us taken off the property. Declined us a manager or supervisor. We have not been able to contact any managers so far and lost $304.26 They robbed us. I'm sure the lady at the front desk will enjoy buying drugs with the money she kept. I have lived in Pasco county for 20 years. This hotel is located in drug central, This area is by far the highest in crime, We just didn't think the hotel was a thief to.... If you enjoy being surrounded by drugs crime and filth then I'd recommend this hotel to you!!!

“A Total Rip-Off. Close them down!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2010

The lock was broken on the door. The carpet was torn away from the door. The room stunk of stale smoke. I was traveling solo with my dog. This hotel was unsafe and seedy. When I asked to be moved, they said they couldn't move me. I told them I would be leaving and they charged me for the day, even though I was only there one hour. ( I thought maybe I could talk myself into feeling comfortable.) They said I had to sign out within 30 minutes to get a refund. Of course, that was after they had already charged my credit card.

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2010

We relocated to Holiday fl. Our house was supposed to be ready for us, but after arriving we found out it would be a week before we could get in. We called around to several motels and found River Side to have the best price for a week stay. We enjoyed the time. the pool was great, the staff was nice and helpfull. Since then we have recommended it to family and friends who are in the area for a visit.
