I’m reaching out regarding my recent stay at Valley River Inn. I was traveling all week for work and stayed there, but unfortunately, I experienced a serious issue with the room. Early in the morning, I woke up with two bugs on me, and later noticed another bug in the bathroom, which I took a photo of. This occurred around 3:00 a.m., and I ended up checking out and leaving the hotel by 4:30 a.m. due to the situation.

I did not eat at the hotel so I cannot provide a review regarding the service and food quality. The room was comfortable, relatively quiet and a good location. Safe parking is limited based on the room quantity at the hotel. The staff provided good customer service and the check in was efficient.

Paid for a river view but when we checked-in they said not available and couldn't do anything about it because I had used a third party to make the reservation! I had planned the trip to spend time with a dear friend. We had no other plans but to spend the days catching up and enjoying the river view and were very disappointed to have a view of the stupid parking lot when we were at the VALLEY RIVER INN to not the PARKING LOT INN.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful. The lobby is very open, looks like recently remodeled, and beautifully decorated, staying in the mid-century Interior design concept. They had a roaring fireplace and beautiful christmas tree staged next to the black grand piano as we checked in. It was perfect for us to sit near the fireplace after dinner with the family. We had a beautiful river view King Room. Huge and spacious, very clean, small but big enough refrigerator with freezer and a small microwave. They only suggestions is to get rid of that funky steeper tea pot and the packets of really not coffee looked like chocolate almond, something or other. Put in a traditional little coffee pot or keurig type unit! We did discover that you can buy coffee at the lobby desk for 2.50 per cup and a beautiful selection of pastries. The coffee was very good. The only real drawback is that the king view suites have a common door connected to the neighboring suite. You could hear everything between those doors. We could even hear when they flushed the toilet, not to mention the couple next door fighting and using the f word. Fortunately, they checked out.And we still had another night of a quiet couple. Other than their toilet flushing lol! We had dinner reservations at the sweetwater restaurant located within the hotel and it was absolutely delicious. Beautiful dining room and very upscale. A number of restaurants within walking distance as well. We will be back, no adjoining room
