Great hotel!
We had a wonderful stay!! The breakfast was a plus, loved the security of the hotel and location to great restaurants and shopping. It was clean and modern. Our only issue was that the room was warm. We tried to get the temp down but it never got below like 74 degrees which is warm for us.

No ability to control room temperature was boiling hot even though they had a thermostat in the room
No ability to call for service had to go down stairs to get help then told maintenance would come and never did
Two of my worst nights sleep not happy at all and will never stay at a RIU

2 things- I booked a room w/ 2 queens over 3 months ago. When I checked in they charged me an extra $30 for my son to stay. What is the difference if there’s 2 or 3 people. We already booked 2 queens. Our room was so hot. The heat way set at 74. It felt like a sauna. Couldn’t turn it down. We were sweating all night. Not cool.
