Looking forward to next stay at a Riu Hotel
This was my first stay at a Riu Hotel. It was outstanding on every level - service, atmosphere, cleanliness - you name it. The breakfast was outstanding - state of the art buffet - well-stocked and very tasty. Location is fabulous - just a block off Miracle Mile. Will definitely stay again.

Great location and vibe!
Beautiful hotel, perfect location, outstanding breakfast! Housekeeping skipped us one day and then when we asked for the room to be cleaned they forgot to leave all the clean towels we were supposed to have but other than that the stay was excellent! We will be back!
