Good location, very nice room. Very comfortable bed and super clean bathroom. Extremely friendly staff. Just be aware it is small hotel. It does not offer 24hr services (up to 9 pm) nor any facilities (restaurant, business center, …) Still, it’s a very nice hotel.

The place was really nice and we enjoyed our stay alot and we would definitely go back. The staff was great in accommodating our needs to be close to the river. The water pressure was great, the beds were comfortable, and loved how it had a mini kitchen with everything you need to cook. The elevator was great as well with having luggage. The only thing I suggest with room 105 is to have the trees cut more so we could of enjoyed the view more then what we had.

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The staff was pleasant, the views were lovely, and we really enjoyed being just a short half-mile walk from great restaurants, shopping, and a beautiful park area. The only downside was a musty smell in our room that seemed to be coming from the AC. Aside from that, everything else was great, and we appreciated the overall experience.

The room was meticulously clean. They had a regular size refrigerator, a stove top and a microwave with a full kitchen sink. Open clean space everything looked freshly painted and cleaned. Parking was simple and there was plenty of it. The Riverview was amazing and it was only a couple minutes to the main road where they had shopping the river and dining.
