The staff was great! However… The ice machine was out on our floor. We thought we were getting a river view, but it was not. The beds were terribly uncomfortable. The breakfast, was far from up to par. Instead, there were powdered eggs, no danish, no yogurt, and they needed more space in the dining area.

Previous high ratings are questionable

The bed is VERY noisy with each toss or turn. The air conditioner is also very loud. Room is very small. Bathroom small too but is clean. Must use dresser drawers or you'll need to keep some bags or luggage on the small table with a group of 4. Not enough outlets!

A place to sleep

Unloaded car, checked in with family standing there in the lobby with bags. Front desk agent kept telling us we had to put everything back in the car and drive down to the next door then ride that elevator up. Found out we could have just walked down the hall instead of reloading the car and driving literally 20 spaces down in the parking lot. Room smelled very musty when we arrived. The air said it was set in 65 but it felt like it was over 75 in the room. Entire property is very dated.

We loved our time at the Inn on the River. The breakfasts were great for getting us up and going in the mornings. Everything was just perfect. The balcony over looking the river was nice for unwinding at the end of the day. My wife says thank you for making her 60th birthday a really wonderful birthday.

It is a beautiful hotel filled with southern hospitality from the staff. We enjoyed our stay. My only concern is that their handicap rooms only have one queen bed in them, which doesn’t work when you have 4 people in the same room. They really need to make a few more handicapped rooms to accommodate people with families. But Kaitlyn one of the agents there went above and beyond for us, setting up a non handicapped room for us to be able to use. Unfortunately my husband had to go to the lobby restroom when he needed it because the room toilet was too low and the toilet riser was too small. But Kaitlyn deserves all the praise in the world for doing as much as she could for us. I hope her supervisors see this. You have a keeper there. Thank you again Kaitlyn!!
