We enjoyed our stay at the Riverbank Lodge. It was was very clean and well-maintained. The only complaint would be no shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom and it was kind of noisy late at night with people in the restaurant area. We would stay again next time we come to the area.

Room was clean staff was helpful and friendly. Towels could have been thicker. They were a bit thin but adequate. Bathroom needed to be painted. Touch up had but done but paint didn’t match. Sound proofing would be a plus. Overall I’d stay again.

Clean and well maintained property. Very helpful staff. Didn't eat at their restaurant as I wasn't in the mood for pizza. Comfortable bed and quiet room. The complimentary "breakfast" was mostly packaged pastries with loads of saturated fat. They did offer cereal and a little fresh fruit, but I found no protein options. Overall, great value on the room, but don't count on a hearty breakfast.

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.
