“River Side Rooms presents a practical choice for those visiting family locally or needing proximity to the cruise ship port. Its large rooms and ensuites stand out, though some maintenance inconsistencies have been noted. I think it's a decent option if location and space are your priorities.”

Solid stay, great value!
early check-in standard amenities clean bathroom
The manager allowed an early check-in, which I REALLY appreciated. The room provided standard hotel amenities including fresh linens, towels, a TV, and an electric kettle with tea and coffee. I found the bathroom recently remodeled with a nice, fresh, clean feel.
The building lacked clear signage. It took some effort to confirm I was at the right place. This was quite annoying.
