Riverside Inn Dallas

Nice

This motel is in major need of a deep clean and/or a revamp. I know it is nothing more than a place to rest your head, but the rooms had beetle-bugs and spiders lurking, their bathroom walls needed some patching, their water took so long to get luke-warm, and their housekeeping staff missed quite a few things: hair on shower wall, layer of thick dust on dresser/tv stand and on their floor heater unit, the toilet had the starts of a pink ring in the bowl, and their beds were very squeaky with every toss and turn.

Older wood frame property that shows its age. Owner do their best to keep it running. Best item was a nice firm mattress and I didn't wake to a back-ache.

The check in has a night window your supposed to be able to drive right up to and smoothly check in. This was not my experience i drove up he wouldnt come to the window had me put my car in park walk in and then asked for my id though i was just getting my freind a hotel room for the night they had just had a medical procedure and needed a bit of assistance getting a comfortable spot just to rest for the night. So i had to go back out to the car to get mine and then had me go out again to ask for my freinds id.. it was cold and rainy, and it was frustrating i had to do so many trips in and out when there is a night check in window for a reason… I told the front desk man id be gone shortly but was waiting to be pickedup (i had driven my freind and his car there with him to get him checked in) and the front desk was almost rude about it. Wanted to know exact amount of time id be there until pickup… i said i was just waitinf for a ride and then on my way. Then he proceeded to tell me it would be uneceptable to be any more than 20-30 min or they wre going to fine him..? Then went ti go park and they had alowed ONE vehicle to take almost 3 spots.. and didn’t have it correct making the right side have like so parking.

Side table had no lamps to see to read , only the ceiling light, cracks in the walls , round lights switchs , paint peel ed from ceiling and some places paint wore off walls in some places... Not a good view side table thick with dust. I wrote my name in it.happy it was for only one night..

Room was very comfortable. Wifi was very good. Shower was great with lots of water pressure. Would recommend this hotel.

No hot water

There was absolutely no hot water for showering or for even washing my face in the sink. Also, there was no working lights in the sink area and that area received little to no light from the bathroom or the rest of the room.

Room was clean and recently remodeled. Baseboard heater just one in the room didn't work when we arrived back at the room at 1030pm at night. Temperature outside dipped down to 27 degrees that night. There was two extra blankets we were able to use. Didn't shower due to no heat in the room. Beds were extra firm not very comfortable. We survived and checked out around 630am to get to the car scrape the ice off the windows and get the heck out of there!

Nice and clean friendly people. Soap dispensers were empty.
