What guests think

At Riverside Inn, reviewers consistently highlight friendly, accommodating staff, very clean rooms, and a convenient setting by the river that allows easy walks into town and pleasant access to the water.

Many enjoy the hotel’s distinctive themed rooms and overall comfort, though a few guests disliked certain decor choices. The pool and hot tub are appreciated, but limited late-evening access and one report of hot-tub cleanliness, plus tight or confusing parking, were noted. Breakfast is described as fine to good; expect a straightforward, relaxing small-town stay.

Parking lot was a little tight and it looks very average in the outside, but the rooms were very nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Didn’t like the theme room. It was childish. Someone was vacuuming at midnight. Could hear pool noise until the pool closed. The parking in the back was not labeled at all. Had to enter thru a park and no signage said anything about hotel parking.

Everything was exceptional, the only problem was we couldn’t use the pool or hot tub when we returned back to the hotel around 10:15 pm I was so disappointed a hot tub would of been perfect way to end the evening.

The hotel is very clean and front desk staff were friendly during our check in process. To our surprise, each of the rooms are decorated with a unique theme. Our room was music themed and was done very tastefully. The hotel is right next to the river and has a park, pier area to walk to the river front. It’s also located in town, so we were able to walk into town to a local sports bar and watch some games. We would definitely stay here again, if ever in the area.

We were lucky enough to stay in the honeymoon room, and it was a relaxing night stay. Only downfall we noticed, was there wasn't any hand lotions in the room, as we've had in other rooms we've stayed in. Not a huge deal at all, maybe forgot to put in the room by mistake, not doing the for guests anymore, not sure, but didn't ruin anything with our stay, just a small thing we noticed. Great job to the staff, and management for another wonderful stay.

This place had an amazing staff. They were very friendly and genuinely seemed to care. The place is a tad out of date and seems to run on a budget, but the place seemed loved. Each of the rooms are decorated differently in little funky themes, but is well done. It looks like someone took a lot of thought and time to make it special. The breakfast was fine and our stay was good as well. It was a nice, clean roadside stay.
