“One of the nicest remodels I have ever seen. Typically updates are obvious but not this property; everything was done professionally. Very nice stop.” — Sharon T, 5 stars
“I loved the pillows, had a great breakfast with lots to choose from, and enjoyed the newly renovated pool. Logans Roadhouse is walking distance next door. I love to stay here whenever I am in Decatur.” — veral j, 5 stars
“I have seen this hotel go through many names over the years. The new renovations seem cheap and the place needs work, but I had a decent place to lay my head, just not worth the price point advertised.” — DJTravels, 3 stars

What guests are saying about Best Western River City Hotel.
"The stay at this Best Western hotel was a wonderful experience! Starting with the booking to check in The room was excellent! The location was great! Checking out was the best as well! The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the breakfast. The breakfast was a bit less than I expected Don’t you if it was because it was on a Monday morning or if this is what they offer for breakfast everyday. Sorry I have no photos"
