A wonderful experience at The Kathryn Riverfront Inn.
Pros:

We had an amazing stay here. we stayed for for three nights at a very reasonable cost. The Hotel was right on the river and was so calm and quiet.
They have a beautiful sitting area with a fireplace, books and magazines.
The Hotel staff at the front desk were very friendly and and they know the meaning of Hospitality. They always greeted us as we left and welcomed us when we came back.
They offer coffee in the lobby 24hrs a day they offer infused water in the lobby and a bowl of Chowder at night and cookies too!
The rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable.
The breakfast was great and offered many options, the hostess and cook were so kind and we were sure to thank them every morning.
We will definitely be back to this great, welcoming hotel.

Not great! I couldn't sleep because the bed was terrible, with hair and sweat in the pillowcases.
Pros:

The breakfast was at best, mediocre on a dirty diner with very dirty windows. They use dark wood, dark tile, dark everything to hide how dirty the place really is.

Cons:

I like like the Blue heron piece of art on the lobby wall. The place needs some serious deep cleaning. Either invest on a real good breakfast options or get rid of it all together? There is so much better options nearby.

Great staff
Pros:

The staff could not have been more helpful, responsive, welcoming, or friendly. They gave me an early check-in, late checkout, a quieter room, and else I asked for. The riverfront rooms are very pleasant.

Great place to stay
Pros:

I highly recommend giving this lovely inn a try! Everything about our stay was wonderful. The front desk staff was fantastic—friendly, welcoming and available 24/7, which made everything so convenient. One of my favorite touches was the complimentary salmon chowder—absolutely delicious! My room was beautiful, spacious and cozy with a view that truly can’t be beat. The location is also perfect, with adorable shops, great restaurants and even a fun candy shop (best chocolate ever)all within walking distance. Housekeeping did an excellent job and the overall service throughout my stay was top-notch. This place really has it all—comfort, charm and outstanding hospitality. I would definitely stay here again!

The process to book online needs made more clear and the info and details given need to be correct. Bcuz I read the wor
Pros:

Same as the best western. Place was nice. The hotels and staff at both were exceptional and helpful and went above and beyond due to the third party booking service messing it all up.

Cons:

I will never use third party booking services ever again. I will go directly to the hotel. I don’t care about the “discounts”. Smh. My trip this weekend ended up costing me triple wat my budget was smh. Pissed.

Great room except toilet height
Pros:

Room was clean, comfortable bed, nice view, and it was close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Free cookies and smoked chowder was great. Even had doggie cookies. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The toilet was a couple inches below my knees and difficult to get on and off. Looks like the toilet was meant for a child, not an adult. I gave three stars because of the toilet, otherwise I would have given five stars.
