Stayed here in October 2011. The motel has a great location, right on the river with amazing views both front and back. The room has a full kitchen, is spacious and has a great bathroom. The decoration is a bit twee, but the beds are comfortable. Do go for breakfast and great coffee to the Stanley Baking Co!

We stayed at the Riverside Motel "kinda" by accident. While we had been in Stanley before and were impressed by the looks of the Motel, we were on our way to Ketchum but arrived one day before our reservations were set. So, we went to the Riverside Motel for one day in Stanley. Patti and Frank have a real gem... More

We arrived in Stanley expecting to stay approx. 3 days as part of a hunting trip. We ended up spending 11 days at the Riverside. The valley in which Stanley resides is the best single spot we have found in the mountain west in 40 years of hiking, hunting and fishing. The Riverside is extremely comfortable and hospitable as only... More

We visit Stanley every summer and winter for the past 20 years, and look forward to staying here! The owners are wonderful and the rooms are extremely well cared for and tastefully put together. The property just delightful and well-cared for. You can't beat the location, the tranquility and peacefulness of the river setting is beyond description. You don't want... More

What a wonderful place to stay! The room was clean and very comfortable. Felt like being at home! Could not have asked for a more relaxing place to stay. Patti and Frank make sure that all of your needs are taken care of! We liked it so much, we stayed an extra day! Whether you want to be busy doing... More

Ignore the trio of really negative reviews below. They are from someone that either cannot be made happy or grossly ignored common courtesy. Frank and Patti were pleasant hosts offering local help, history, and really solid information on the Sawtooth area. Frank has been coming to and/or living in this area for a long time and willingly shared fishing, camping,... More

I did a lot of investigating on what motel (no hotels in Stanly) to stay at. I can only say how satisfied I was that I choose The Riverside. Not only are you right on the river but standing out on the balcony listening to the river was just what you expect when you want to get away. Patti and... More

We've stayed here on more than one occasion, but finally decided that the nasty tone and attitude of the owners weren't worth the riverside rooms. Unfortunately, I agree with the other reviewers: In a field where warmth and hospitality make all the difference, these folks are in the wrong business. We love Stanley, but will be staying elsewhere from now... More

We enjoyed every minute of our first visit to Stanley, Idaho and the Riverside Motel. Ignore the "bad" reviews!! After staying here for 3 nights, I just figure that those type of reviews were from a select few that may have self-entitlement issues. Anyhow, the owners were consistently very welcoming and friendly. We stayed in Room # 23; which is... More
