Riverbend is a beautiful property with the river running behind it. Enjoyed watching people fly fishing while walking my dog. It is a very pet friendly area. Lots of restaurants allow you to sit outside with your pet. The motel is within walking distance to everything.

Hotel was away from the main strip, yet close enough to walk to everything. Employees all so nice! We liked walking down to the river and rocks and my son skipped rocks after all the tubers were done for the day.

Hotel shows its age. But the bed was comfortable, location was awesome, rates were reasonable and the staff was great. It is right on the river and there are swings so you can go sit by the water. They also have steps so you can access the water easier. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our stay and would stay again at Riverbend.

So so stay

This hotel definitely had its pros and cons. To start with the pros, the location. The location was perfect, right on the river and walkable to everything. The lady at the front desk in the evening was great! She helped with all our needs and even came to our room to help with the tv. The cons of this hotel was the beds (super uncomfortable), the tv did not work for the 3 nights we were there (it buffered all day), and I was charged $75 more than the price I originally agreed too, when I asked about the charge they could not explain anything to me. Next time in town we will try another option.
