It was okay, but for the price we paid for a family suite, the room was not laid out well as there was a sink in one room with no bathroom and the king size bedroom was smaller and a huge closet that was wreaking mold made this intolerable for me to sleep in. It felt like a nice room for the age of it though. (Very old) I wouldn’t stay again in this room due to the mold issue. And the AC kept cutting out, as if it were governed by temp set by the hotel. Would not go below 70. I’m not sure it came down to 70 honestly.

Cute but nasty

The room was cute but things were very dirty. Please just remove the soiled couch. No one is going to sit or sleep on it. I wouldn’t put my luggage on it. The curtains were even worse !
Bottom of curtains are black with dirty or mildew

This hotel is horrible

When we arrived it took some time to get registered even though we pre registered. The place is dingy old and the outside was filthy. There was mold on the balcony’s the room was filthy the air conditioner did not work properly the shower had no pressure and the fireplace did not work. Got back to the hotel one night and got a contact high from all the pot smoking on the property. Dogs barked all night from various rooms. I would never ever stay here again. And the breakfast was a joke. It was a grab and go prepackaged breakfast. I got a white milk and it was spoiled. The clerk just played it off and got in the fridge and threw all the milk away. What a dump

I like that it is really close to the strip. The room was clean. This was our second time staying here. The room was extremely humid inside, made everything feel really damp so sleeping was not comfortable.That was the only bad thing. The AC leaked all over the floor so that might have created the humidity. But I did let management know so they could address it. Other than that it was a great stay again.

Only complaint I have is that the jacuzzi suite the glass panel is on the wrong end of the tub, so you have to get into the tub, to turn on the water. And the hot and cold water were backwards. Overall the bed was great, clean room, good location.

My stay at the Rivers Edge Inn.

It is a nice hotel. My only complaint whould be that the outside door was very hard to close. You had to slam it to get it to shut. The door to the balcony was extremely hard to open. Other than that it was fine.
