We stayed the weekend of may 4th till the 7th 2012. The hotel is old and has seen many a guests. I dare you to ask the staff for something and them not trying to take care of it for you. The food is to die for, we gained a couple of pounds. The hot spring baths are down stairs... More

I stayed here with my dog while on business in nearby Soda Springs.The entrance is surrounded by lush landscaping,full of bulbs and blossoms. You are greeted by... More

This is a terribly overpriced, worn out hotel. The people were very nice and the tubs were convenient but the rooms were awful. The walls are paper thin. I could hear dogs barking down the hall. Holes in the sheets. No bed side tables. A lamp with no plug in. To top it off, the breakfast was so disgusting I... More

Greetings Andrea, We are sorry to hear that you did not have a totally positive experience at the Riverside Inn. In response to your concerns, we have made several improvements to our guest rooms since your visit. Your stay was in a King guest room that connected to a queen room. Since that time, the connecting doors have been eliminated... More

We stayed there January 13. Paid $10.00 more than was quoted when I made the reservation. The room we stayed in overall was cute. There were 2 heaters plus 1 that resembled a small fireplace (cute) Only 1 of the wall heaters worked and was Very noisy. The cute little fireplace heater went out during the night. My husband and...

We have stayed at this hotel about a half dozen times over as many years. It has changed owners at least once, maybe twice. It is a charming historical hotel that has generally been nicely upgraded. It has a lovely stairway and upstairs library, and the rooms are cute. It's a bit worn around the edges, the carpet could stand... More

Dear Maggie, Please accept our apologies for a less than great experience. It is our goal for our guests to enjoy their stay. The Inn is nearing 100 years of age and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As you can well understand, a building of this age, is a challenge to maintain. We are working hard...

My son and I ate frequently at the Riverside Inn last winter while we were temporary residents of Lava. Being a picky eater I found it to be the only restaurant in town that I really liked. Early this fall we returned to Lava and stayed at the Inn while I was recovering from surgery. We were treated like family... More

Our family rented the "apartment" for the weekend. I was under the impression that there were 2 bathrooms - it only had 1 and you had to get through it by walking through the bedroom. We had three children, 10, 11 and 13, with us and were immediately told upon check-in that they needed to be quiet (though they weren't... More

Thank you for your review. On behalf of the entire staff, we are saddened that the guest room(s) you and your family stayed in were not a good experience for you. I was not able to meet with you during your stay, as I was working the graveyard shift to cover for an employee that had a critical health issue... More

We stayed only one night and that was enough. A frieght train line runs 150 yards from the property and as late as 11 p.m and as early as before 7 a.m. we were awakened by the train.While the main staff were very attentive, the property has seen its best days 20 years ago. While the bed was very comfortable... More
