Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Bridge Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The old building is beautiful! Our room was very clean."

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"If you are a business traveler, or you are someone that doesn’t care about having a lot of amenities this place will be perfect for you. This place has budget rooms that have one single queen bed, and none of your standard amenities like a microwave or a refrigerator or anything like that but the price is very good. It’s always been very clean. I’ve had no issues. The beds are comfortable and it’s overall fantastic for the money. And just to reiterate, as long as you don’t care about having a lot of fancy amenities, this place is absolutely great for a quick stay. The parking lot is very well lit and has plenty of space. You’re also located very close to gas stations restaurants grocery stores, all sorts of place within quick walking distance."

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast
