“Gets the job done”

My family is in the process of building a home in Bethel. When we go up for a week to ski at Sunday River or just check on the house, we tend to stay at the River View Resort. It's pretty nice for a week-long stay; you get your own kitchen, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms with a view of the Andrascoggin River from the backyard. The shuttle to the mountain makes several stops throughout the day at the hotel, which is nice - no need to drive to ski. It's about a 10-15 minute trip to the slopes.

The rooms are a little on the older side, but clean. The couch we had in the living room on our last visit was very worn - you sank into the bottom through the aged cushions. The appliances and bathroom, similarly, were older, but everything worked. What's nice is that the staff cleans your room each day and vacuums out the salt that accumulates in the winter. There is also a heated indoor pool, though I never made my way over there to try it out.

All in all, there aren't many frills here, but it's a reliable, spacious place to stay for a week or so. It's nice having separated rooms with doors rather than a one room hotel when you're stuck with family for that long - a little personal space can go a long way to maintaining your sanity. And the price is right. Meets our expectations every time.

“This is a GREAT place - friendly staff - beautiful & spacious suites & a wonderful view out the back deck!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2011

We have a summer place in the area & stayed here in January of 2010 while on a little mid-winter getaway to chk on the summer place. Having driven by here many times, we wanted to stay there & see what it was like.....we were not dissapointed!!
We were again on another mid-week getaway this past week to do a "pre-opening" check of the summer place and of course, readilly booked our stay at the River View.
We find the staff to be extremely friendly, helpful & nice to chat with.....the accomodations are excellent....you get a full suite - kitchen - 2 bedrooms & a fantastic view out the back - all for a very reasonable price. The location to all the restaurants & shops in Bethel is great & the property has a nice swimming pool & jacuzzi to relax in at the end of the day.

No one would be dissapointed to stay here!

Room Tip: Rooms on the 2nd floor provide a great view!

“Have stayed here over the past 9 years and still love it!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

Perfect for families or couples; separate rooms,great kitchen to cook" in" and spend less, and the kids can be "safely independent". We feel our kids have grown up there over the winters...yes, we've rented other properties but they love the "Riverview",game room, pool,hot tub and we can always leave for dinner and feel they are safe. The front desk/ housekeeping staff are wonderful local people that will do anything to make you feel at home and comfortable. The shuttle service to the Mt key for teenagers!! We highly recommend it for people looking to be close to the Mt, want privacy ,comfortable beds ,and have families.
