Riverbank Lodge was peaceful. It was great to have a bar and food right in the building. The rooms were great just could have used some hooks in the bathroom. Good stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was in one of the Economy rooms, which are basic (one bedside table, not two; no closet, luggage rack, desk or fridge; shower only, no tub). Think motel except with access to a lobby and free breakfast. Staff is very friendly, lobby is super cute, bed comfortable (though pillows made weird plasticky sounds), and there's even a view of the river. I was worried that it's right by a railway but there was no noise. Free breakfast basic but did the trick (oatmeal; yogurt; fruit; toaster waffles; juice / coffee / tea).Super close to Lincoln's New Salem. Would have been cramped for a longer stay but fine for one night.

Room was clean, had extra cot in room. This was extremely uncomfortable, think time to update cot mattresses. Room was on first floor and first time noise from other travelers were an issue. Still would recommend hotel maybe an off night

We were in town for a Field Trial. Property was clean and friendly staff. Thought we might have noise issues with the nearby train tracks, but didn’t hear a thing. Would stay here again.

Probably not the best for an extended stay probably. The room was small. Just a bed, night stand, tv, and bathroom. No dressers. None of that was an issue for me. I actually like how bare bones the room was. Staff was very nice. Got checked in ok. Price was decent. The room served it's purpose for what I needed. It has a very cozy lounge area. I will probably be staying here every time I visit Petersburg.

Everything about the Riverbank Lodge was exceptional. Check-in was great; we were able to change our room (from 1 king to 2 queens) without a hassle. The room was gorgeous and spacious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The light dinner in the lounge was delicious. Excellent experience.
