Bed was comfy and location easy to find, other than that if you dont have a budget and dont want to stay in a fancy hotel stay here. Bathrooms are horrible and rooms are old not updated at all and the A/C was old and full of rust.

The hotel is outdated and it was clean except for a couple of spiders in the room and dirty towels that the maid used to wipe down the room before we got there (I guess she forgot them) but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Small room but nice river view. Good for a couple of days. The major detail to fix is that the toilet was not properly attached to the floor, as a result, it shaken when sitting on it.

I liked Lloyds on the River. Here is what Lloyds is: it is rustic and perfectly fits the mountain vibe of the area. I wanted to avoid the chain motels, and this place is definitely like a mom and pop. Just about every room looks different. My room was very clean with fresh new looking bedding. The walls were a nice rustic paneling. My one complaint was that the heater/AC unit made a horrible racket. I had to turn it off the sleep, so it got really cold in there. This might be a deal breaker for some folks, but it didn’t bother me that much. It was worth it to stay in a clean and unique motel.

What a great little motel! We enjoyed the porch by the river & felt right at home in our room. The hot water is HOT, so be mindful of that. We would definitely come back!

I arrived five minutes before the office closed. The young man was friendly and when I was given a key (a KEY!) I was thrilled. This place is a classic, road side motel. It's old but clean. Nice bed, shower was small but with very hot water, microwave and 'fridge. I had a balcony room right on the river with two rocking chairs. Both nights I stayed there there were logs burning in a fire pit right next to the river so the sent of a campfire filled the air. When I turned in my key the young man said he hoped I'd return because "You're family now." Wonderful, old-school place with a lot of charm.
Small bathroom with very hot water.
They still use a key!
King bed with a balcony overlooking the river.

The door did not have a dead bolt or throw over chain. Locked and unlocked with a key only. The walls were very thin so you could hear conversations from the next room. The carpet on the stairs and hallway was very dirty. Our room was clean but the bathtub was very stained and the drain was gross since it appeared to be rusted out.
