Etsys is right bout the location, really convenient and if you come out from the hotel and turn left, you will find a legit massage place called MTO. Pretty good.
Also, there are some money changers just before MBC if you walk there from Rivera - pretty good rates but please exercise caution.
I stayed at Rivera twice. Breakfast at the cafe is dodgy if you are the fussy type - a roach crawled out from the table cloth when I had breakfast. Turn off for me but then Robinsons is just a couple of steps away (not literally...).
What I don't like about Rivera is that if you get a room beside the staircase, it tends to be noisy and because the walls and doors are thin, it feels like someone can break through the door anytime and as you can imagine, it gets a bit irritating if you are a light sleeper as you can hear people walking/talking at the corridor.
