Love south islanders, they're super friendly and accomodating. The staff at Riverside were no exception. Price was on par with other motels in the area, but this was bigger, more private, has a pool and an awesome Japanese restaurant Sasa on site.

Property was quiet and very clean. As we checked in there were many staff doing a deep clean in the hallway. Staff was kind and professional. We didn't need much for our 2 night stay. One night we ate at the Sasa restaurant on property and it was some of the best authentic Japanese ever.

It was okay, but lacks some modern day amenities, for example there were no accesible outlets near the bed. The mattress was older and softer in the center.
