Property is beautiful and well attended. It would have been nice to have access to snacks and drinks other than limited morning coffee, however.

The room and the views are stunning. But there is no service on the weekend, no food available on premises, the coffee in the morning is not great and is served with coffee mate. It seems like a lot to pay for just a room, albeit a beautiful room

Excellent hotel. Extremely clean. Beautiful view from our room of the river. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn't enjoy sitting on our terrace but I'm sure it would have been very pleasant in nicer weather. Very quiet and comfortable room. The receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and helpful for suggesting nearby restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Well, it's a beauty of a hotel in a great location, with an excellent view of the Connecticut River off the back. Great location if the Brattleboro region is your primary destination. The room was clean and comfortable. All that said, we had genuine issues, which would be great if they could be worked on for the future. Calling out stay one with a balcony room was misleading. The deck out back is more of a veranda or outdoor setting. Upstairs room, some had a private balcony, which was what we thought we booked. If we stay here again, I'd rather call them directly, then book online, so we can accurately get the room we want. The other downside was the shower. If you're under 5'6", stepping into and out of the shower is quite the step up. We're shorter, so it became an issue. I suppose, if you also have knee and joint issues, this may be a frustration. Speaking with the staff about our concerns did not go so well. I'm sure they meant well, but in times of need, they mostly misfired, causing added frustration. This hotel has great potential, with a handful of changes. Maybe lowering the expectation of what we book, so our experience wouldn't have been somewhat disappointing. That said, we would gladly book here again, knowing what we're getting.

What a charming property. Our room with a balcony overlooking the Connecticut River was made for relaxing! It was a great place for our morning coffee supplied by the hotel. The room itself was clean, comfortable, spacious with nice linens. The staff is friendly and helpful. We didn’t want to leave—but we will be back! It is a good base for visiting attractions and quaint towns in both NH and VT.

Customer service is paramount. When we checked in, the front desk lady was focused on us. During those few minutes, she got a phone call and she also needed to talk with a hotel worker (in the lobby) about something, but WE were her immediate priority. This attention to the customer is integral to the superior experience at ANY hotel anywhere in the world. We would return again to the Riverside Hotel!

The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, our stay was enhanced by the friendly faces we saw coming and going each day. The room was very spacious, clean and modern. The bathroom was especially large and gleaming from a fresh cleaning. Overall we would stay here every time we come up from now, it’s the only place we would consider! Thanks for a great weekend!

Everything was excellent at this hotel. The check-in was very smooth and the receptionist quite personable. The room was ENORMOUS and the view was beautiful over the river. There is no food at the hotel, but there is a good extensive list of local restaurants which are nearby. We went to Peter Havens—excellent restaurant with quite satisfactory prices. The best reataurant is Peter Havens in downtown Brattleboro. Street parking is available. You can have anything on the menu with confidence.
