Hotel was away from the main strip, yet close enough to walk to everything. Employees all so nice! We liked walking down to the river and rocks and my son skipped rocks after all the tubers were done for the day.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel shows its age. But the bed was comfortable, location was awesome, rates were reasonable and the staff was great. It is right on the river and there are swings so you can go sit by the water. They also have steps so you can access the water easier. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our stay and would stay again at Riverbend.
