Proximity to work was excellent. Check-in staff was friendly. Staff was helpful in quickly providing a portable electric heater when there was no heat on in the building. Guests beside my room were loud ALL night - shouting, banging around the room.

Hi Robert, Sorry about the heat! Rest assured we've had it fixed for your next stay in Nipawin!

Stayed for 2 nights. Affordable & Convenient for shopping or dining. Not the quietest stay but being it attached to a bar/restaurant, that was expected before I even booked. No issues with any aspect. Chicken Delight is also good.

I travel to Nipawin once a month for business. I realize the river Inn isn’t the Ritz hotel, however, it is a great value for the price. The rooms are clean and have been recently renovated, the beds are comfortable and the staff is very friendly. I look forward to my stays here. The restaurant is good and there’s also a bar all under one roof. Especially nice in the winter when you don’t wanna go outside. Cheers.

Not a great area, Having to check in at the bar…long wait for staff, loiterers at front door. Hard to find where to get in. Cleaning staff very helpful and friendly. Somewhat secure when we found out you needed a key to get into access door to hotel part. Room very clean and beds comfortable. Good price.
