Good enough for an over night stay. Room was clean, however could be better. The bathroom door-very stained. The Shower curtain stained. I don’t think either have been cleaned in months. Ice machine broken. Nice little walk to the river. Cats EVERYWHERE!!! Clean bedding and updated flooring.

Worst hotel ever. First time in my life that I can’t stay and have to find another hotel to stay at. The room was gross and in very bad shape. Most of all, there was a terrible chemical odor due to fresh painting fumes. I had to chase them for a full refund, which they finally accepted. As others wrote, if you need a shelter stay there, if you are looking for a decent hotel room don’t. Good luck.

Bed was wonderful, we thought pillows would be bad but they were just fine. Room was very clean. Huge tv in room. I liked not having carpet, it’s cleaner. Only complaint was the coffee we had to make in room was awful and they don’t have a pot of coffee in office you can get any good coffee at. We had deer in parking lot when we drove in at night so we had fun seeing those. We would for sure go back and stay.

The check in process and room were satisfactory. However the front desk staff would not honor the "free welcome drink" amenity included with our online reservation. Disappointed, please address this discrepancy and resolve with River Oak Inn.

The room was amazing! Very clean and spacious. The layout was very different with a bar and a sofa. These were in addition to the standard table, chairs and bench to put your luggage on. All-in-all a very good choice. It was also VERY QUIET. It was nice to be able to relax and not hear every noise coming from outside. I highly recommend staying here.
