Great locationFriendly staff
TiffanyUnited StatesThe view and location was fantastic but amenities not so.
Room was not what we expected. Very small.
AndreaSKThe hotel has a very good location, right by the River Walk in the city center, with easy access to everything. However, the hotel itself is quite old and the furnishings are outdated. Our room was very small, and…

ΙωάννηςGreeceΤο ξενοδοχείο ηταν στο κέντρο της πόλης
Το δωμάτιο μας ηταν διπλα στον ανελκυστήρα 1708 δωμάτιο με αποτέλεσμα αργά το βράδυ να μας ξυπνά ο Θόρυβος. Ηταν πολυ ακριβό και δεν είχε εστω ούτε πρωινό σε αυτη την τιμή.
HannahUnited KingdomWouldn’t stay again :(
The only good thing was the location which you cannot argue it is a prime location
The room was tiny - literally hardly any room for moving. We were initially given a room on level 14 but the receptionist changed this…

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.

Questions about River Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at River Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does River Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at River Hotel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does River Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at River Hotel?
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 River Hotel 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 River Hotel?
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 River Hotel?
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.
