I like the pool. Clean, nice temp. Small, but okay for a little relaxing exercise. The hotel is not luxurious, but it is a comfortable place to stay for a night or two. Will stay there again. I do wish it was possible to pick one's own room.

There is nowhere more convenient to the historic district of Hannibal than the Best Western on the River. Not a new property and not a luxury property, but everything was as expected. Indoor swimming pool, light breakfast foods, clean beds and towels, working a/c and shower. This was my second stay here, and next time I visit Hannibal, I'll be staying here again.

Loved the best western close to the things we needed to be by. The pool is indoors in the lobby so it can echo and be a little loud when you’re in your room but overall great stay. Staff was lovely.

This was your typical middle class hotel. Rooms are clean, Staff was pleasant breakfast was adequate. Its got an excellent location to the downtown area everything is within easy walking distance. The property is older and it has all of the limitations of an older structure compared to newer construction. would stay there again.
