Very nice hotel/casino. Super clean and lots to offer. We would’ve liked to try the buffet but found out there are limited hours. The cafe was fantastic though. Bed wasn’t the most comfy but I know that’s personal preference.

Riverside is a very nice Casino and Hotel. Ruthie’s Steakhouse is excellent. I have stayed there 2 previous times and really enjoyed the golf. Very nice pool and hot tub. I will be back.

Meh
The set up of the bathroom with the curtains OUTSIDE for privacy to the shower is beyond dumb. The beds were lumpy and broken down. The carpets were not clean, maybe vacuumed but definitely not clean. The rooms need serious attention to digital upgrades. I stayed in 2 seperate rooms on 2 different floors while I was there for the Night Ranger concert.
