Needs to be updated. Bathroom was clean but small. Carpets were old. Bed was clean. Had a slightly musty smell in the room. Location was great. Staff was nice and the breakfast they provided was great. On the fence about returning. The price was really cheap for a week.

When I first entered the room I noticed the thick film of dust on the desk. The next day the dirty towels were not exchanged for clean ones. I had to go to the office to get clean ones. On the third day I was here I did have clean towels and clean sheets, however the room was never dusted.... More

The room was dirty. The part of the door framewhere the locks latch onto the frame had been torn out so many times, that all it would take to break the door in is a kid running into the door. Also, after showering, there were 2 inches of standing water in the bathroom. We asked for the manager, were ignored;... More

My husband and I stayed one night. I selected the hotel primarily hoping it would be a nice location (river view) and one where we could sit outside to unwind after a very long drive and enjoy the nice SC weather. We were able to do that by taking two chairs from the room and placing them outside the door... More

We stayed 2 nights and everything was great. The staff was very helpful (even helped jump our car when the battery died). The room was very clean and the comforters even looked relatively new. It was perfect for our purposes, which was to find an economical hotel. We only needed the room for sleeping. I would just eat the cereal... More

We came in very late and just went to bed, and we should have just kept our eyes closed the next morning and walk out because it was very dirty room like it wasn't cleaned up from the last person who slept there. Coffee stains on the dresser and table, I didn't exaim what ever was running down the TV... More

I'm sure the Riverside Inn was a nice place many years ago, but it's not now. The decor is very tired and worn. The bathroom fixtures look original and are badly worn from years of scrubbing. The toilet seat was once white but has been worn down to the wood from use and cleaning. The included continental breakfast was minimal... More

A group of my friends decided we wanted to spend the night in Columbia after the Gamecock/Tennessee game. All the hotels in the Vista were booked and were surprised that the Riverside still had availability for two rooms only a week before the game and for less than $75.00 a night. When we arrived, the first words out of my... More

No, this hotel is not the Four Seasons, but for around 60 bucks, we got a clean room (no chalk outlines or caution tape), a great hot shower with awesome water pressure, and about 40 channels of cable TV. The beds were decent, and the room AC was cold. We had clean towels, sheets, and floor. We spent most of... More
