Hotel is older. Needs some care. Inside was clean. My room was updated and had a comfortable king bed. AC worked great. Half the price of other hotels in the area. Just right for a work trip.

The bed was comfy. Carpet was ripped. Toilet seat had missing paint on it. TV remote didn't work. Heater/air conditioner made noise all night even tho it was turned off. Was never told by staff about a breakfast. I seen it as I was checking out. People pay a few dollars more for a better hotel. I should've. Lesson learned.

The property seemed to be in a state of disrepair. Broken tiles in the entry, no thermostats to control the room temp which they finally removed the cover so we could turn it off. The hall carpets were dirty however the room, bedding and sheets and bathroom were very clean. I could recommend this hotel.

Location is fantastic but, unfortunately the hotel was pretty bad. Walls falling apart. Pieces of the wall on the floor maybe for weeks, I don't know. The rooms were ok at best but the location is fantastic.

not what was pictured but still good place to stay

The picture shows a lovely view and yard to sit in. The trees have grown so you cant really see the river any more and the outside of the hotel and yard need some work. That being said the room was clean and bed was comfortable. The breakfast was biscuits and gravy, waffles, eggs, etc. So it was a good breakfast. The area is really quiet. We would stay there again.
Back yard. "view of the river"

This isn't a fancy place by any means, but I'm willing to bet back in it's day it was the bomb!!! We walked out back to the river where the pictures on the website were once taken. Even though it looks nothing like the old pictures if you take the walk down to the water it is beautiful!!! It was very busy and the staff was polite. The bed was clean and the room was clean, new tile in the bathroom . Yes the wallpaper is coming off and the carpets need to be replaced but it didn’t stink and we slept well.

Photos on Expedia don’t represent the current conditions of the Riverfront Hotel. Pool, restaurant and lounge are all closed with no plan to reopen. Riverfront patio no longer exists. Entire facility appears as though its golden era was 20 years ago. Was probably a show place back then. Staff was adequately helpful. Book your stay here with low expectations and you will be satisfied.

Nice place, needs a couple minimal fixes.

The hotel location is very nice, the staff very friendly and helpfull. My only negative was that the staff did not present themselves 'professionally' in dress. They were wearing T-shirts or whatever they might weed the garden in. Breakfast was minimal and 'cjeap in appearance'. Our tub did not drain, so I showered in another vacant room. If the staff dressed more professionally, as in a uniform, and the breakfast would have been 'average for Holiday Inn Express' I would rank Riverfront slightly above average. Worth the price, perhaps could demand a higher price with slight improvments...but I don't know the market

The staff was very friendly & professional. That's where the good ends. The breakfast was minimal. The hotel & room were filthy. We had spiders in our room. The carpet was disgusting in our room & hallways. We had a non smoking room but some one was smoking near us & our room stunk. Under the air conditioner/heater there was no flooring so the pink insulation was stuck in there & visible. There is a homeless camp behind the building & a lot of trash. Don't believe the pictures of the nice sitting area behind the hotel, its not at all like that. Worst hotel ever. We did survive our stay without getting bed bugs.

From the outside, the parking lot that could easily hold a couple hundred cars was completely empty and it looked like it was shut down. Google maps kept sending me further down the road so I thought maybe they rebuilt elsewhere... Nope. In the late 70s maybe early 80s this place was probably pretty amazing but it presents as barely hanging on now. Very little is notable as upgraded or improved from original construction. Sign(s) on doors saying pool, lounge, and restaurant are not open (and loky not open for a very long time). My room was huge and the bed was comfortable and clean. The carpet was frayed, there were dirty (greasy) had marks on the door, the shower curtain, and light switch plates. A lot of litter behind the TV stand and chairs are mismatched, malfunctioning, and not comfortable - furniture is pretty neat up and bits broken,shower has great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Not many people around so it is very quiet and set back from the main road so no street noise. The name Riverview is deceiving as you cannot see the river from the motel... There is a little pathway down to the river but I HIGHLY suggest you avoid going down there as the litter is atrocious and appears as though destitute folks may live/sleep down there... Overall, the 3 staff I talked with were very friendly and helpful. For the price, I don't think I would ever stay here again... As another reviewer posted, if you don't have high expectations you'll be fine.
