Riviere South Beach Hotel in Miami Beach

Room smells bad due to the aircon filter, we thought it was only our room but we talked to other guests, and they have the same problem

I chose this property because I was coming in for a short period of time and wanted proximity to the beach and the convenient amenities that came with it like beach towels and chairs. I should have chosen elsewhere. The staff were very kind, knowledgeable and friendly but the accomodation itself was subpar. The beds were comfortable and the living area was spacious which was nice enough but nothing close to the elegant and "luxe" pictures posted for the booking. The biggest issue was the bathroom - the tiles near the baseboard did not seem clean and the shower was a hazard. Quite literally. There were many tiles that were breaking, if I stepped a certain place the floor would sink, and the door wouldn't shut all the way so the water came out all over the floor. When I showed the staff at the front desk the pictures and video of the shower, they seemed surprised; this made me wonder if any staff had actually been in there to clean the bathroom as there's no way they would have missed that if they had. They also don't offer parking, which I knew ahead of time but thought the pros would outweigh the cons. They did not.
