Worst hotel ever. First time in my life that I can’t stay and have to find another hotel to stay at. The room was gross and in very bad shape. Most of all, there was a terrible chemical odor due to fresh painting fumes. I had to chase them for a full refund, which they finally accepted. As others wrote, if you need a shelter stay there, if you are looking for a decent hotel room don’t. Good luck.

Bed was wonderful, we thought pillows would be bad but they were just fine. Room was very clean. Huge tv in room. I liked not having carpet, it’s cleaner. Only complaint was the coffee we had to make in room was awful and they don’t have a pot of coffee in office you can get any good coffee at. We had deer in parking lot when we drove in at night so we had fun seeing those. We would for sure go back and stay.

The check in process and room were satisfactory. However the front desk staff would not honor the "free welcome drink" amenity included with our online reservation. Disappointed, please address this discrepancy and resolve with River Oak Inn.

The room was amazing! Very clean and spacious. The layout was very different with a bar and a sofa. These were in addition to the standard table, chairs and bench to put your luggage on. All-in-all a very good choice. It was also VERY QUIET. It was nice to be able to relax and not hear every noise coming from outside. I highly recommend staying here.

We did not receive the room we had booked. We had booked a king bed and had a confirmation for that but were told at desk when we arrived that we had booked two queens. Even when i showed them the confirmation email, we were told that it was wrong that their records showed something different and they did not have a king available for the length of our stay. We could have it for thursday night but someone else booked it for friday and saturday. Of course we were not interested in moving after one night.They told us we should take it up with Expedia. Although the room was surface clean, it needs a serious deep cleaning. We stayed 3 nights and our room was never serviced during our stay. we had to ask for clean towels twice. We were unable to turn the AC on and had to get a manager in Upon arrival. The TV remote was missing and We again had to call for help. The ice machine did not work at all during our stay. We were not at all pleased with the stay at the River Oak and will not stay there again nor recommend it to anyone.

Room was in need of some upkeep. Some holes in the wall. Roaches in the bathroom. Hairdryer was covered in a sticky substance. At checkout, I had wanted to express my concerns to rhe front desk, but no one was there. Just a sign to drop off my key. Definitely not the worst hotel experience we've ever had, but we're not intrrested in staying there again.
