Guest Reviews
- Johnson (8/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Very nice. Already have reservations for august - Clean and friendly staff Nothing
- Donna (8/5): Very nice, no one in the pool area, so I got it to myself. - theme room, cute Could have had a better view, but that’s ok.
- Hunter (8/5): -
- Priscilla (8/5): - Staff was very helpful. Rooms very small
- Theresa (10/5): - 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.
- Alan (9/5): -
- Melisa (5/5): -
- Teresa (10/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Great place - Close to the party Nothing
- Heather (10/5): - We loved the themes of the rooms. The beds were comfy. The place was very clean. Breakfast was good! N/A
- Tina (8/5): -
- Kim (8/5): - Fun of the room, location, pool, and staff
- Robert (10/5): One Night Stay - We were in town for a funeral. We loved our "schoolhouse room", it was just adorable! And, the beds were comfy and room very nice. We highly recommend if you are in the area.
- Millie (8/5): - 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.
- Mary Beth (8/5): - Beautiful view of river
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Loved being by the river but also very convenient being near a grocery store, gas station and restaurant. Great walking location. Very clean and good breakfast as well.
- Michael (10/5): - 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.
- Deborah (10/5): - Rooms were very clean and staff was friendly.
- Andrea (8/5): Great atmosphere with cute decorations - The rooms were so cute. The kids loved looking at all the doors to see what they all had. Cute and inviting lobby. Breakfast was good with waffles, juice, coffee, yogurt, toast, and hard-boiled eggs. The staff were nice and helpful at grabbing extra blankets and such for us when needed. Lobby floor had water spill that was not cleaned up when we arrived and my son slipped on it. Should have been marked for safety purposes. Also milk from the breakfast was not cleaned up under one of the tables when we ate there for dinner that night. No filtered water to fill up water bottles. The bed seemed worn out but still comfy enough to sleep on, just not for firm mattress lovers.
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was good. The location is great! The room themes make it very interesting.
- Cindy (9/5): Superb - Everything Nothing
- Melinda (6/5): - 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.
- Jayne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leah (9/5): Over all we had a blast,loved staying at hotel!!! Best breakfast feast ever also!! Many options!! - We loved our popcorn themed room ,we had a kids b day party and she was ecstatic!!! Our door lock broke and so she had to duct tape it to keep shut n open said she would do a discount(manager) but at check out she wasn't there and front desk only offered 10% so 12$ off.
- JACKIE (8/5): Nice, clean roadside stay with great staff. - 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.
- Roger (8/5): - Nice. Bed was a little soft
- Ronnie (10/5): - The site was conveniently located to my appointment. The staff was courteous. The rooms were decorated to a theme, like mine was rugged log look.
- Susan (6/5): - The decorations were weird in the rooms.
- Robin (10/5): - 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.
- Tammie M (10/5): - Absolutely loved the themes rooms!! The staff was also so friendly. Will definitely stay here again.
- Susan (7/5): Good -

- Elizabeth (10/5): - Friendly, generous staff. Truly an "Inn." We had all we needed and more. Pool, breakfast, parking just out the door. Every room with its own theme and element of travel all its own.
- Richard (10/5): Good place to stay - Room was clean and comfortable.
- LeRoy (10/5): - Na
- Ross (10/5): - The theme rooms are very well appointed. A lot of thought was put into each individual room. The lobby decorations are phenomenal. Hotel is very clean and quiet. Grocery store across the street.

- Cronin (10/5): I can’t wait to stay again! I hope the same staff will be there the next time! - The staff was AMAZING. I haven’t had a better experience anywhere else. She was so kind during our stay and made us feel so welcome. I can’t wait to come back! There was nothing I didn’t like. The pool was down because of maintenance issues but that’s not big deal at all. I enjoyed my stay so much.
- Willayne (10/5): - Clean place to stay

- Nancy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christine (6/5): Room was nice. Parking lot is too small. - The room was not tight. There was a lot of room to move around. Shower was the right temperature. The parking was too tight. I couldn't park on the lot. I had to park on the street. The parking spots are way too small. People were parked a little crooked. So, the spot that was open was too small to get in with even a car because the parking spots are so small.
- Barbara (10/5): Gem of a place! - Lovely friendly hotel. Unique named rooms that was fun. Enjoyed walking to nearby stream and sitting on dock. Sooo nice!
- Ronald (8/5): My Stay, - My stay at your fine establishment, was there 4 my 50 High School Class Reunion. Local amenities like golf, restaurants, etc. A very Fun Stay!!
- Nancy (10/5): This is a convenient, friendly and unique place to stay! - The staff was the friendliest of any we have met on this trip. The themed rooms are the most creative I have ever seen at a hotel! The location was ideal for our cycling group, one block away from the rail trail. Breakfast was adequate but the space was a bit crowded.
- Mari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynette (10/5): - Cute little hotel. Very clean and quiet. Each room had it’s one unique decor. Nice location. We’ll definitely stay here again.
- mary (10/5): Riverview motel - Excellent. Great pool temperature. Clean and staff was very accommodating.
- William (9/5): Superb - parking spaces are tiny
- Christina (10/5): Fun unexpected stay! - Such a fun hotel we found on our road trip! We loved the clean sports themed room. The pool and hot tub were nice after a long day. The breakfast had a good selection. We can’t wait to go back and stay in one of the other rooms!
- Mitch (8/5): Very good -
- Dixie (5/5): Passable -

I would recommend this hotel or any corporate stay… it’s worth it! I look forward to being in that area again JUST for this hotel! The pool was also great- they have pool toys! Games are available in the lobby! Breakfast was small but delicious! REAL hard boiled eggs! I could go on and on and on… don’t hesitate!
- Teresa (10/5): Great hotel - A big thank you to Brandy and to Dee for all of your help!
I do have a suggestion. It would be very nice if there was a wheelchair ramp or wheelchair access to the river and docks behind the hotel. Would have loved to take my dad to the river just to watch
- Matt (10/5): Very Nice - Clean unit, owner was great.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bummer - Each room is themed but very cheaply decorated and dirty. It was cleaned but everything needed a deep clean.
Layers of film on dressers that could be a scraper off instead of just whiped over daily. We asked for a queen room and we got a double. Shower supplies were very cheap and poor quality. Air conditioner didn't work, breakfast wasn't bad but wasn't good either. Disappointing stay and wouldn't stay again.
- John (8/5): - My stay was pleasant. was a clean room. I'm not a fan of the in room Heat/AC units. They are always noisy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Every roon was different, unique, with varring themes. This is the first time I have every walked around a hotel to see what each room's theme was.

This place was so charming, we ended up leaving in love with this small hotel. Small town feel and so many personal details around the hotel. There may be things that are are outdated but it doesn't matter, cleanliness was outstanding and everything was very well kept. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for the great stay.
