Recent guest reviews

The room looked clean, but the bathroom had a slight “sewer” smell. Needed thicker curtains on the patio door for better privacy. Otherwise ok room.

The river view and set up were perfect, and staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Rooms were recently updated, and we look forward to returning and enjoying further updates to the property.

Perfect accommodations for our needs of an early check in & pet friendly! Owners are super friendly & very accommodating.

The biggest problem was the lack of security in the room. The deadbolt wouldn't engaged so it was useless. One good kick and anybody could come in. It appeared dingy: the walls, the bedding, the carpet .It needs a good coat of paint to cover the patched holes in the walls.

Didn't want the typical cookie-cutter hotel/motel experience, so I picked this one for it's interesting location downtown & on river. Well, the location *was* interesting, but the motel itself has seen better days. TV Tube was from...well was A TUBE with a standard-def picture...mis-aligned. Sinks had hot water, but not the shower (broken fixture). Staff didn't seem surprised when I reported it, and certainly didn't offer me anything more than a "sorry". I wonder how long it's been broken like that?

Rooms need to be updated. Room smelled of cleaning products.carpet stained But very good location

Hi Sylvia, My wife and I bought this motel on October 15th. Your stay was more than a year ago but I am responding to all of the unaddressed reviews. There are a LOT of things that we need to upgrade at the Riverside. we own three other small motels in Rhode Island and went through the gradual renovation process with each of them. We will be going through each and every room to upgrade and improve every aspect. Hopefully we can win your business again in the future. Thank you.

Hi John, My wife and I bought this motel on October 15th. Your stay was quite a while ago but I am going back and responding to every review. I apologize for your bad experience at the Riverside. While the televisions have all been replaced we still have a LOT of work to do in order to make this motel a place of which we can be proud. We own three other small motels in Rhode Island and went through the same gradual renovation process with each of them. Hopefully we can win your business again in the future. Thank you.

Hello, My wife and I bought this motel on October 15th. Your stay at the Riverside was quite a while ago but I am going back and responding to every unaddressed review. We have a LOT of work to do as we update and modernize every aspect of every room at the motel. We own three other small motels in Rhode Island and went through the same gradual upgrade process with each of them. When we are finished each room will be fresh, bright, clean and modern. Hopefully we can win your business again in the future. Thank you
