The room was very comfortable and clean, but the Riverview turned out to be more of a Bridgeview with limited river visibility. The room was poorly stocked with minimal essentials provided.

8.2/10

The hotel gives you a pleasant stay with clean and comfy rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location. Despite lacking a true Riverview, it offers a Bridgeview with a glimpse of the flowing river. The room was well-kept and had the necessary info but missed the usual pamphlets. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond with a kind and affectionate approach, offering a late checkout. The location, although seeming iffy, felt safe and was very convenient, especially for out-of-state guests navigating to nearby areas. The dining experience stands out with a surprising variety and excellent options for everyone. The hotel offers a nice array for breakfast and other meals. Additional amenities may vary.
