Folks at Riverport were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and for the most part quiet as this was not high season. We would definitely want to stay again.
Quaint town, well-appointed room, elevator made baggage easy! Great restraints & shops in area. Interesting marina in town.
Only complaint, a cold shower 3/4 way through.
Very clean rooms, friendly staff, the beds and pillows are amazing! I was able to find the pillows online and bought them for home!

The room is super clean and bright!!! The perfect little view of the water. Close to everything but tucked away for privacy! Such a nice place! Virginia is so helpful and such a sweetie!!
We were very happy with our stay. The rooms and property were very clean. We didn't have a great view of the water, but didn't mind very much. We will stay here again.
The property is Nice. A comfortable unit with full kitchen, which is a plus for longer visits.
The room was a little musty-smelling. We opened a window and the deck door and it cleared. Nice views and comfortable accommodations.
