We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rialto Hotel. We slept sounds on comfortable beds and heard not a sound from the noise of music events happening outside. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our room was clean and the hotel in general was very well kept.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was spacious , very clean, and the perfect temperature. The bathroom products were lovely, L’Occitane. Although fruit and coffee in the lobby in the am was appreciated, a muffin or pastry would have been appreciated also. The hotel was central with easy walking distance to everything. One slight annoyance was no on site parking, but the nearest overnight lot was a short 2 minute walk and cheaper than the hotel offsite parking.
