“We had such an amazing stay at Casa Riveria! For our anniversary we wanted a more luxurious vacation and this lodging did not disappoint. It was beautiful, charming and super comfortable. We had a balcony that overlooked the mountains and the entire room was perfect. So many little details that made our stay extra special. The staff was very attentive and super kind.”

“Our stay at Casa Rivera was excellent. The location was right down town and very convenient, with ample parking in a private garage below our building. The room was very clean, spacious and well appinted. In addition we had a nice private patio to enjoy with a beautiful view of the mountains. The communication with our host was top notch. The responses to our questions were very prompt. We highly recommend Casa Riviera.”

“This hotel was perfect! It was clean and quiet and the room a good size and view was also very pretty. We could walk to State Street easily and took the free shuttle down to the beach. I am not sure if it is 21 and over but it felt like it which was great for us. VERY dog friendly. We did not have our pooch but saw lots of others and there were dog amenities in the room. Will be coming back.”
