Riverfront Hotel — Hotel in Mission Hill South Township

We stayed at this hotel for a wedding. The building is definitely historic. All rooms are located on the third floor and there is an elevator as well as stairs. As with an old building, the elevator is also old. We used it only when moving our belongings otherwise we used the stairs.

Our room had beautiful woodwork and high ceilings with a private bath, king sized bed, and sofa. It also had a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, ironing board, and iron. There was a couple of Folgers' coffee tea-like bags and sugar packets but no creamer.

The bathroom was a single sink with a tub/shower combo. The lighting is terrible and not conducive to a close shave or applying makeup. While shampoo and conditioner are provided, the quality is lacking. The shampoo was the consistency of water. Bring your own. There was also a very small piece of soap provided sink side which does go far when staying more than one night. Bring your own body wash. The towels were of decent quality but the storage space for them is very limited. A blow dryer is also provided. It’s very small but surprisingly did the job.

There is a small closet in the room but there were no hangers. That was super disappointing and clearly an oversight by the new management company.

The king sized bed was okay. I’ve slept on worse and I’ve slept on better. I was surprised to find a plastic mattress cover on the bed and found the crinkling sound annoying when moving in the bed.

The most alarming thing about our stay was the front door to the building NEVER being locked. Anyone could have come into the building at any time of the day. With there not being any employees managing the lobby, the few homeless people in the area could have easily walked in and up to the third floor. And there was a keyless entry lock but it wasn’t activated.

The hotel is located in the Meridian District, which has a beautiful walking path and park. It’s close to downtown and walking distance to a handful of restaurants and bars.

Looking forward to seeing how the new management will improve the property. As is, I’m not sure I would stay...

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. It was a beautiful historic building with a superb atmosphere. My suite was located on the top floor with a full kitchen, office area, large living room, spacious bedroom, large bathroom with a whirlpool bath, and finally a nice outdoor deck that overlooked the local bridge and downtown area. I honestly have no complaints about my stay beyond the fact that I really wished I could've gotten a chance to pet the beautiful tabby cat that roamed the guest services office buy alas it was a rescue and a bit timid. My stay was peaceful and uninterrupted, staff was available when needed, my room was clean, climate control was more than adequate and keep in mind my room was on the top floor of the building and the weather was very hot outside, the kitchen was well stocked, my bed was comfortable, Wi-Fi was able to handle my needs, and overall for a historic building the building itself was very modern but without losing that historic feel that we desired.

Can't say enough good things about this place, I'm only leaving now to go spend some time with family before moving but I absolutely will be returning later this week to book the same suite from now until my moving date which is approximately a month, need I say more? Fully recommend anyone having to stay in this area to book with this hotel as it was an unexpected pleasure for such a remote city, just don't...

Our initial thoughts upon booking were more in the realm of…”Well this will be a cool adventure to stay in a historic building! How awesome is it they accept pets?! This is right by the boutiques we wanted to go to!”

Unfortunately, the management is entirely inadequate. Upon entry, all of the historic features we were previously in awe of were overshadowed by the lack of cleanliness and hodgepodge DIY work. I definitely didn’t trust that bedding was washed or dishes were actually clean, given you could see thick layers of dust on even the most easily noticed areas. The biggest misstep in management though BY FAR was the fact that we were not informed Rib Fest was the very weekend we were to stay. They knew we had four children ages 5, 3, 2, and 2 months and yet they never told us there’d be a concert going on pretty much right outside our building with single paned windows and almost non existent glazing. The walls were literally shaking! Until 12AM! So unbelievably unacceptable! When management was given the critiques they gave poor excuses, showed no remorse nor gave any inkling they’d be making any changes in the future. With that being said, I would warn you...
