When is the best time to go to Riverside?

The best time to visit Riverside, Texas, is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months. During spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, with average temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). This is an excellent time for outdoor activities like exploring Lake Livingston State Park, where you can enjoy fishing, hiking, and birdwatching without the intense summer heat. The wildflowers are also in bloom, adding to the natural beauty of the area. Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C), and lower humidity after the summer peak. This season is superb for relaxing boat trips on Lake Livingston or enjoying a picnic by the Trinity River. Those who enjoy cooler evenings and clear skies will find this time particularly appealing. While summer (June to August) can be hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 90°F (32°C), it's still suitable for water-based activities.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Riverside hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Riverside hotel?

Hotel prices in Riverside often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

10/10 Excellent

"Everything.. I stay here often and enjoy every single time"

Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent

"This was a sister‘s weekend getaway. We loved the look of the property from the moment we walked into the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful at check-in, Shout out to Shan. We also loved our room which had two queen beds, a separate sitting area, and double sinks in the bathroom, which with four women in the room was an absolute must have. we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, Geraldine‘s, we had the short ribs, the lobster tacos, the wedge salad, and for dessert the churros. Everything was absolutely fabulous. We also had brunch at Geraldine‘s on Sunday where they had live jazz performance. Again, our meals were fabulous, and the entertainment was superb. The location of the hotel, near Rainey Street, provided lots of options for other dining experiences and entertainment. I highly recommend this hotel."
