Room was awesome! Very, very nice rustic rooms. Andrea was the friendliest desk clerk I can remember having and we travel a lot. They have a beautiful welcoming cat, he is so nice. We would never stay anywhere else from now on when we come to Hayward.

My only complaint is with the booking. I booked a double queen bed room, only to find upon arrival that we were given a single queen with a couch fold out bed. I don’t know if it was Expedia’s fault or the hotel, but please be careful when booking your own room and call to confirm you get what you paid for. Other than that mishap, the hotel was very nice! Clean and accessible!

This is a typical small town roadside motel, nicer and cleaner than most. We’ve been on a long road trip and we’re just so sick of the brand chains, we thought we’d try something different. It’s fine. We had a clean, large room, decorated in Northwoods kitsch. We upgraded to a River View room to cut down on road noise. True - the room is right on the river, but those rooms just sit perpendicular to the building along the road, sort of joined at the corner, so while you are on the river, you also have a perfect view of the highway over the bridge 50 yards away. Unless sitting on the deck watching the river is important, it’s probably not worth the upgrade. The highway seems to calm down at night anyway.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverside Motel. We sat on the porch overlooking the river and enjoyed our morning coffee. We felt like we were in the northwoods enjoying the water. The room was neat and clean and felt like home.
