Almost everything about the Riviera resort was amazing. From our view we could see the Disney Skyliner, Epcot, a small lake with some odd animals, and Hollywood Studios' Tower of Terror. At night, we'd sit out and enjoy thunder/lightning storms!
The only, literally only negative thing about the resort was their required "visual inspections." These inspections were mandatory and if you opted for the staff to not enter your room during the day while you were at the park, you'd have to schedule a 1-minute walk-through with the maintenance team EVERY DAY to check lighting fixtures, appliances, and everything else was in working condition. We were there for 10 days and had to have 10 different inspections. Very, very annoying.
