"Designed like an old town on the Mississippi Delta, the huge, 2,048-room Riverside is one of Disney's best Moderate-category hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"This antebellum, Southern-style resort has two distinctive areas alongside a picturesque Mississippi-style waterway."
Rough Guide
"This resort
combines two Southern themes: the row houses and
cobbled streets of New Orleans in the French Quarter; and
the grandiose manors overlooking the Mississippi River at
the Riverside."
Zagat
3.5
""Evoking the grandeur of the Old South" and offering "serenity to the overstimulated", this "gem" is a "sprawling" resort set on "lovely" grounds in a "killer" location."
Fodor's
"Buildings in this family-friendly, moderately priced resort look like Southern plantation–style mansions (in the Magnolia Bend section) and rustic bayou dwellings." Full review
Gayot
"Elegant manors and quaint bayou lodges pay tribute to Dixie at this relaxing, moderate Disney resort."

DK Eyewitness
"Recent renovations have made this upscale resort even more impressive than before."
Rough Guide
"An upmarket hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms, a bright and airy atrium, an onsite spa, and a good location directly opposite SeaWorld Orlando. $249."
Michelin Guide
"The exterior of the ten floor hotel... situated close to Sea World and other area attractions, is architecturally uninspiring, but its interior reveals a cavernous sunlit atrium."
Star Service
"Located across the road from Sea World, this Shamu-sized hotel continues to prove one of the best hotels outside of the park." Full review
Gayot
"Across from SeaWorld Orlando, this hotel is among the finest off harried International Drive."

"Whether "for business or pleasure", this "beautiful" Orlando resort, "right across from SeaWorld", offers an "air of luxury"."
Fodor's
"With a vast and airy 10-story atrium full of ponds, palm trees, and, ironically, a sushi bar, this SeaWorld neighbor underwent a substantial renovation in 2013." Full review
