What guests think

At Riverwood Inn, travelers commonly praise clean rooms, quiet surroundings, and friendly staff, while also reporting dated features, hard beds for some, inconsistent front-desk responsiveness, and recurring pool closures or maintenance issues that affect the stay.

Room upkeep varies, with occasional AC or TV problems, mold reports, and some noise, while others highlight strong Wi‑Fi. The setting is a bit out of town, which some like and others find less convenient. On-site dining is minimal, and a few guests found the in-room coffee lacking. Expect a straightforward stay with variable comfort and service.

Decent stay for the price. The room was clean, but staff did not come to clean while we were there. Ice machine was great and it was quiet throughout our stay. A storm passed through the night before we arrived, but no one bothered to clean the pool afterward.

Very quiet even if a little outdated. It has that old pool smell to me. Beds are rated a negative 10. Very hard and uncomfortable. Super clean, just super uncomfortable. We didnt stay the entire length of our booking due to this. By night 3, i was done for and so were my husband and son. On to the reason I was most dissatisfied...we checked out early therefore we should get a refund for any unused days. Expedia is a joke.... they said contact the property. Property says tuff, contact Expedia. Needless to say, we arent gwtting our refund on this mediocre, uncomfarotable, smelly place. Oh, wipe down down the backs of the doors and around the handles where people touch. There shouldnt be hand prints or brown areas where peoples hands go. Its unsanitary.

This is an older property and is being fixed along the way, but it was clean and that is the bottom line for me. Staff was amazingly friendly and full of information… again older facility but little steps in the works would stay again

River Wood Inn is an outstanding hotel! Rooms are spotless, beds are super comfortable, and the view is beautiful. Staff are very kind and helpful, especially the elder man. Location is peaceful. Loved my stay here. Highly recommended!

I had arrived later than expected and the staff had my room key and ticket ready to go when I arrived. The room was very clean. The shower had plenty of pressure and the linens were clean. Hotel/Motel beds usually hurt my back after just one nights stay, but no issue after a quiet nights rest here. WiFi was strong enough to watch videos on my phone without issue. I will definitely book again.

Had to find a place in Glenwood for a family gathering. I picked the Riverwood, while many of the family picked Ouachita Mountain Inn. I was very disappointed with our room and would suggest others stay at Ouachita Mountain Inn. Our bathroom had mold on the ceiling, paper-thin walls (worse I have ever experienced), and for some reason, they packed all the guests in rooms right next to each other so you were sure to hear the other guests. Ouachita Mountain Inn didn\'t look as "nice" as the Riverwood from the pictures, but trust me, it is a better motel (and cheaper too).

Booked through expedia for $88, was told there was a problem with my payment, and told to call and book through them, that it'd also be cheaper. Was charged $280, and am now disputing the charge with my credit card company. Room service also woke me up an hour before checkout. Put a damper on an otherwise great trip to Arkansas!

We were able to check in at a later time and had someone greet us at the office. The office management was kind and friendly. The cleaning lady was also really nice and understand. We stayed two nights and had no issues. Highly recommend. The only thing we didn’t really enjoy was the running water for the shower. It made a funny noise when you first turn on the water. Overall, nice place to stay.

Not the greatest but will do if there's no other choices in the small area, The in room coffee situation is horrible, they don't give you a big enough pack of coffee to make the 4cup maker, not enough cream or sugar, not enough shampoo, No conditioner, Better take all of your own supplies cause there ain't enough for two people of anything. other wise, it was ok but more of a motel 6 for a choice motel price.
