Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my husband stayed here for our first anniversary and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. My favorite thing about this place was the smell! It smelled fantastic throughout the whole hotel. The staff said each branch had their own signature scent which i thought was super neat! The location is IDEAL. About a 2-3 minute walk away from main street. Another sweet touch was a radio in the room with a bluetooth feature which I had never seen in a hotel before."

Highlander Mountain House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at HMH! The room was so well put together and the atmopshere was top notch! The Ruffed Grouse was an amazing meal. I loved all the staff we encountered! Everyone was so friendly and helpful!"

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
