Great place to stay!
Pros:

Great location and had great service, the same lady that checked me in also checked me out and was great and very outgoing, didn't catch her name. The lady that ran the bar every night named Kaylie was off the chart great dealing everyone! I'll be back the 3rd week of August and looking forward to it

Best Value and Location for Owensboro Trip
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As usual, our week-long stay at the Holiday Inn Riverfront in Owensboro was outstanding! Our room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax after each day.

The entire front desk team was friendly, professional, and always eager to help with any request or concern. We’d especially like to recognize Cody, Mike, and Boyd. They consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and truly make this hotel feel like our home away from home.

The Holiday Inn Riverfront continues to be our first choice whenever we’re in Owensboro, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Excellent accommodations, outstanding customer service, and a staff that genuinely cares about their guests—what more could you ask for?

Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Kaitlyn made our trip.
Pros:

Well let’s see. Kaitlyn was like family. She made us laugh a lot. She even remembered the drinks that we order the day before. She is a diamond in the rough. Keep her. You got lucky with her. She was even here the night before working and she had a smile on her face the next morning.

All About The Location
Pros:

What a wonderful stay! This hotel is located close to one of the best riverwalks I have visited, making it easy to enjoy beautiful walks along the water and explore the many unique, eclectic local shops nearby.

The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay.

Breakfast was average, but the live Bluegrass music added a fun local touch and created a great atmosphere. The highlight of the stay, however, was definitely the spectacular riverside view, especially in the evening. Overall, a great stay and a place I would happily visit again.

The staff saved the experience.
Pros:

The staff was really nice and I enjoyed the complimentary coffee bar.

Cons:

The smell of the room was horrible. My family was there for a funeral and everyone said that all their rooms smelled really bad and some were nervous in showering.
