Liked: Cleanliness
The staff did not seem super attentive, but the room was clean and comfortable. There seemed to be some construction happening so there was some clutter. Breakfast the first day there was no coffee, and no staff at the desk to inform about it. By the time we left for the day the coffee had been refilled so we were able to make a cup to go. Overall not bad for the value.

Loved that it is located on the river. Decided to try fishing from shore and caught a 38" northern! Some other guests were catching numbers of smallmouth bass. Property was pet friendly and we met some great pets and their owners. Rooms were generously sized, and clean. Exterior could use an update but over all a very good experience.

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.

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.

Misleading, not as expected

The picture shown for the hotel's website is misleading. Although the hotel's name is "Riverfront" there is no view, nor is there a lawn looking out over the river. The hotel is in poor repair, especially the exterior, which is likely why the picture was used.

Not sure where the “property photo” was taken, but it was not here! The carpet in the room/rooms was disgusting, I couldn’t even walk on it without shoes. In the morning a fire alarm went off, no one seemed concerned except for me and a guy next door! the maid down the hall just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. I couldn’t bring myself to eat the breakfast included with my stay, just showered and left! The property surroundings out back were creepy! Was not a 140.00 a night motel!

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.

Everything advertised was inaccurate. It's not river side breakfast was supposed to be included nothing was available except cereal with expired milk. There were no staff to ask for help. 10/10 do not recommend. The pool is drained and closed. The restaurant bar closed with water all over the floors holes in guest room wall. I requested a refund and will not rest well until the money is back in my account... Unexceptable

The staff was friendly, the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was great. However, the hotel grounds were terrible. I chose this hotel somewhat based on the pictures that were advertised but those pictures were very misleading. The parking lot needs a complete re-do, there is no landscaping, and walking around the hotel was sketchy - I didn’t feel safe walking down to the river by myself. The hotel billboard did not light up at night, and there were still Christmas decorations in the lobby. There is little care in the appearance of this hotel.
