The only reason I gave this a 3 was because of the proximity to the running trails and the fact that it was pet friendly. The rooms alone were only a 2. Pluses: I loved the proximity to the river trails (24 miles worth!). We used the trails for our dogwalks and my morning run (perfect 4 mile jog). There... more

This was our 4th time in past 4 years at this property. As usual, we booked a river front room - great views! As reported in previous posts, this property is very outdated. The rooms including the bathrooms are quite comfy and large, but the kudos stop there. The patio overlooking the river was filthy dirty with dust and spiderwebs.... more

I booked this hotel through Priceline for $75 a night and am glad I didn't pay full price! The beds were comfortable, the room was large and clean, and we did have a nice patio overlooking the river, but overall this seemed like a kind of generic hotel and not the lavish "resort" they tout themselves as. more

Very nice. Rooms are attractive. We had one right on river, and the view was wonderful. Hotel is sprawling, meaning it was a fairly long walk from our corner to the lobby. Staff very pleasant and accomodating. Would stay here again without question. more

This hotel has seen better times lots of years ago - anyway this is a good place to stay. Everything's fine, quite and the nearby mall offers the opportinity just to hop across the road to shop. The room was clean and usefull, possibly you should ask for a room closer to the lobby. Otherwise the walk distance could be... more

Perhaps because we booked through Priceline, we got a room that had not been updated since the 70's. Could be kitschy and fun, but unfortunately the mattress and noise-proofing seemed to be from the 70's too! Rooms are very large, which was a plus, but not much else redeeming unless you like avocado green rugs, noise from upstairs, etc. Staff... more

We recently stayed at the Valley River Inn during a week's visit to our son who is studying at the University. We could not have made a better choice. The room and facilities were very good but what made our stay special were the lovely staff at the hotel. Nothing was too much trouble and each and every one of... more

We spent two wonderful nights at the Valley River Inn, a last minute change from another hotel. I am so glad we made the change! Jon, the man who checked us in, was very helpful, and made every effort to upgrade us to a river view room (they were totally sold out), but he did upgrade us to a newly... more

My husband, daughter, dog and I stayed at the Valley River Inn from 5/15 - 5/17/2008. We were very happy when we drove up to the hotel to see that it had been well represented in the photos we had seen and were even more surprised at the size of the rooms. Our daughter sleeps in a portable crib and... more

As a recent guest at Valley River Inn with a dog you probably noticed how pet friendly we are! Hopefully you were able to take advantage of our "Yappetizer" menu. As you mentioned in your review, we do have a lot of extra amenites such as the Concierge Level and the childrens pool that most hotels do not have. Having...

My sister and I just happened to find the Valley River Inn looking for a hotel to stay in before our plane departure back to SF. It was wonderful. The rooms were large, the staff was great, the wine/appetizer hour was more that you could ask for. Best yet was the dinner. We really did not want drive around so... more
