Friendly staffGreat locationGood breakfast
CindyUnited StatesComfortable hotel with friendly helpful staff.
Great location! Easy walk around the historic district and to the Riverfront.
PaulUnited StatesI would stay there again if necessary, but would try some of the other hotels first, if available.
Great location and good value.
Staff was a bit apathetic. Breakfast room decor was sterile and without decoration--not very warm or welcoming. Very institutional.
PaulaUnited StatesVery good. We will stay again.
Location
No vending in our building. Felt very separated from the lobby.
PatriciaUnited StatesAbsolutely wonderful!
The location, the facilities, the pools, the friendliness and efficiency of staff, the comfort of the beds, the seating area on the first floor is welcoming and calm giving a great place for nice time out of the room,…

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Best Western On the River
What time is check-in and check-out at Best Western On the River?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Best Western On the River allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Best Western On the River?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Best Western On the River have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Best Western On the River?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Best Western On the River have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Best Western On the River?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Best Western On the River have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Best Western On the River?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Best Western On the River?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
