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.

The Riverside Motel is a quaint little hotel. Our room was a very nice size. It was clean and well decorated and looked out at the river. There were lots of places for guests to sit outside and enjoy the lake. It even had a little dock if you wanted to wet your line. A great breakfast/lunch restaurant is right across the street and downtown Hayward is just minutes away. We would highly recommend the Riverside Motel for your Hayward stay.

The room was very clean. There was both a small table and a sofa to sit on. The bathroom was small but one of the most awesome bathrooms I have ever been in for a motel. Very tastefully decorated and extremely good use of space. We would definitely stay there again.
