Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very convenient to downtown restaurants and shopping, pleasant and helpful staff, our balcony overlooked the Pigeon River, nice room and had washer and drier on first floor. The nightly price was reasonable, including breakfast. The only negative was the hallway carpeting was worn, stained and needed updating.
Good location. Loved the river view. Rooms were basic but very clean. Friendly staff. Good included breakfast. Website says continental but breakfast includes hot items as well. Will definitely come back.
Second time I stayed at the Riverside Inn and I loved it. Clean rooms overlooking the river; pet friendly and walkable to downstairs shops and attractions (all within 10-12 mins walk).
Just a wonderful trip! Clean and safe! Beautiful view of the river and Moonshine Coaster! Free trolley stop right in front of hotel. Quick walk to several great restsurants and putt putt golf. One of our favorite places to stay in Gburg!
