Neat location, cheap rooms. I was given the key to an occupied room and luckily no one was in the room when I walked in. How mortifying that would have been! My room left much to be desired, the bathroom was pretty much a fail and needed updating and there was no phone in the room so I couldn't do a wake up call. For the price, it was ok. The bar and patio seating made up for the room.
Food and service were poor. Not only did 4 servers walk by us multiple times, we had to eventually stop one of them to have our presence acknowledged
Hot bacon dressing served like cold glue, a 3.5 inch extra plate was presented when asked for an extra plate, all plates were flimsy plastic yet metal utensils, servings were small yet prices were large and we were never asked if we needed anything or if everything was alright.
This place has a for sale sign out front
Hope the next owners train their staff & aren't so chintzy
The owner is hands on,really works make your stay comfortable. The beds are so comfortable,the decor is old style inn but comfortable. .The view is magnificent. They have old fashioned log like on a steamboat to rate your stay. Great continental breakfast but also breakfast sandwiches you could microwave. Bar in-house.
I loved it! It is a cute, clean Inn near the river! So if you love a river or being close to the river, you will pick this place! The staff is nice and very helpful!
I just adore this little place! I stayed in the Paddlewheel Annex although there were rooms available in the main building, on the second night of my stay, I decided to remain in my Annex room. I just loved the view and the coziness of the room.
Yes, it is not like a chain hotel as you'll need to request things like a blow dryer and ice to be brought from from the main building but the staff are more than willing to accommodate.
It's not perfect, (a little mildew in the tub grout and housekeeping is a little lax) but the bed was very comfortable and the Linens were nice.
The room had a microwave, good fridge and coffee maker and the air conditioner kept the room nice and cool.
I loved sitting out on the long covered porch with a glass of wine to look at the beautiful view in the mornings and evenings. Very relaxed and peaceful.
So, if you're not a high-maintenance type of guest, you will appreciate the hotel's charm and warmth. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Madison!
Loves our stay! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Loved being able tomato outside and watch the river. Will definitely be back!
This is an old place, quite dated. It has a very small but well kept outdoor pool, very quiet. The rooms by the pool are very small. If you want fancy, this isn't it. Great for a peaceful overnight stay right next to key West shrimp house, good place to eat. Has a nice view of the river and a good little bar in the lobby. I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to spend anytime in your room.
Great weekend getaway location. Riverboat Inn was an old hotel with small rooms but clean and had everything we needed. Small fridge and microwave in room. Coffee maker. Great river views. Pleasant friendly staff. Great little pool. Within walking/ biking distance of Riverview and main st. Where there was eateries pubs shopping. Cool area.
Many of the windows face the river. There is lots of outdoor seating in front of the main building. They have a great and well maintained swimming pool for their hotel and cabin guests. This is an older facility, hotel rooms are small, for the most part. We stayed in the off-site cabins, which were pretty nice on the inside. Large living rooms, comfortable beds in the cabins, full kitchens and each of our cabins had two full bathrooms, was good as we had a large group. Within walking distance of downtown shopping and restaurants. Friendly staff.
Charm, great view, personal attention, outdoor sitting areas, a relaxing, non hotel atmosphere. You feel like you are an old friend visiting . It is the best!
Nice older hotel with a picturesque view of the Ohio River. The rooms are a little small, but they are clean and comfortable.
Pleasantly surprised by accommodations. Walking bridge is right at edge of property, that was a nice brisk walk. The staff was friendly and very kind. They apparently have a breakfast but we didn't know about it other than that it was a very nice stay.
Stayed in a 4 bedroom condo with a group. It was clean & comfortable. There was no deadbolt on the door, which was worrisome. The decor is a bit dated. The view of the river is amazing. Not walking distance from town, but a very short drive.
