Always come back to the riverside and never disappoints. The staff is always so nice and friendly. Love the pool and boathouse. Our room was next to the elevator that was having issues. They were kind enough to move us. Will definitely be back.

We loved the charm of Riverside and the surrounding area! The Hotel is older but well maintained and clean. There are tons of dining and shopping options within walking distance. The staff was great and we loved the Boat House Bar and the pool area. Excellent stay for the price. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. I would definitely come back!

When we checked in the hotel said we canceled our reservation, which we did not!! The manager said they would honor our reservation and the price Expedia quoted us. But it was upsetting-we would not cancel and have nowhere to stay. The Hotel is a lovely old hotel and our room was gigantic with newer furnishings. The bed was not that comfortable and we did not sleep well. It is very quiet and in a great area with tons of restaurants, but I don’t think we will stay there again.
