We arrived at Riverside Motel, it wasn't the best looking but we figured hey it's the mountains and alot of places aren't fancy. As we proceeded on to our room we noticed the door was kicked in, the room smelled, there was no fridge(we were told there was), it was just a complete dump. My husband went to the office... more

A so-called website got my attention with the picture of a beautiful riverfront deck made of stone with the rippling water of the river. You could even hear the splashing of the water on the short video clip. In- room coffee, right. The only thing that even made the two day weekend getaway survivable, is that my 3 boys had... more

I arrived at Riverside, and I expressed some issues I had with the place. It was too far away from Unto The Hills, There were no shops or anything to do within walking distance. I was told I could pay half and not stay, but I could not get out of the reservation. I was forced to stay. When I... more

At the visitor's center in Franklin, NC I picked up a pamphlet for the Riverside Motel. The picture of the motel right on the river was very appealing. So we stopped and I fell for the location. We even looked through the window of a room to get an idea of whether we wanted to stay. We stayed one night... more

When my family and I first arrived we weren't sure what to think. The motel is down over a hill beside the highway. But after we began to look around and got settled in we loved it! This place is very beautiful and quiet. I would recommend it. It is locatated about 2 minutes from town. It is located near... more

My family and I just returned from a 4 day stay in Cherokee, NC at the Riverside Motel and we had a great time. This is the one vacation that we really did not want to leave from and go home. This is a great place to stay for families. The location of the hotel was perfect because it was... more

On Friday, July 30th, 2004, my family and I drove over 300 miles to arrive at the Riverside around 10:30 PM, where we had made phone reservations. After paying for two nights, we received our key and went to our room. As soon as we opened the door, we were struck with the smell of mildew. We noticed a glade... more

Just got back from Cherokee and The Riverside Motel and sad to say we really did not enjoy the motel. Where to begin…the room was clean but very rundown sorely needed a paint job, the bed mattresses were dirty and there were no blankets in the room. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. The outside light in front... more
