The hotel was very clean and organized. I liked the quaintness of the property as it isn't part of a large hotel chain. Check-in and out were easy and the staff was very courteous.

Stay by the River
This is a lovely little hotel, overlooking the Cape Fear River, nice well maintained rooms. Unfortunately, the beds are cheap and so soft they are very uncomfortable. The sheets, also cheap and hard, crackled when you turned over! The noise from the in-room refrigerator and air conditioning made sleep very difficult. Otherwise it would have been a very nice stay as the property is very convenient and well priced.

Perfect weekend getaway place!
Riverfront water view. Great location. Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Walking distance to Southport shoppes and restaurants. Hotel condos in great shape but the property could use a little TLC. Probably would be a factor for longer stays or warmer weather. Would stay again.

We were in a unit right next to a construction zone. It was off season and there were other rooms in other buildings that we could have been put in, that would have bee nIce and thoughtful. Instead we looked out on a heap of junk and had to deal with construction noise.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the River Hotel! It was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. We loved having the kitchenette available. And the balcony was great.
