Welcome to the good old days

A classic stop,
freshly revived.

Road-trip soul meets modern comfort at Riviera. We kept the bold color, sunny spirit, and easygoing charm of the great American motor lodge—then added everything today’s traveler needs.

Fast Wi-Fi

Stream, work, or plan tomorrow’s drive.

Easy parking

Park steps from your room, no fuss.

Morning coffee

A fresh, unhurried start to your day.

The Riviera courtyard lawn strung with cafe lights at dusk

Evenings, your way

String lights.
Slow nights.

Pull up a chair on the patio, catch the last of the sunset over the courtyard, and let the evening stretch out. The lawn is the heart of Riviera.
