On Wilbur Avenue along the Taunton River across from Fall River, the budget Riverview Inn & Suites offers a pool and a riverside location near Battleship Cove and the SouthCoast.

Things to do in Somerset

Beyond the hotel room

Somerset's main draws are just across the river or a short drive away. In nearby Fall River, Battleship Cove and the USS Massachusetts are iconic attractions, a sprawling naval-history museum and a decommissioned battleship you can tour. The Taunton River itself anchors the South Coast waterfront, with kayaking and fishing opportunities. Heading south to the beaches, Horseneck Beach and the SouthCoast shoreline offer summer swimming and coastal air. For a deeper local history, the Fall River heritage and the Lizzie Borden history draw true-crime and history buffs. The South Coast wineries and farms ring the region, offering cider, picking, and scenic drives. Just over the state line, Providence and Newport are a short drive, opening onto Rhode Island's capital city culture and the Gilded Age mansions of the Newport shore. The SouthCoast bike paths and conservation land offer quieter, recreation-focused days. Somerset itself is a residential sleeper; the action sits in Fall River, on the beaches, or in Rhode Island.

There is more within easy reach: The Taunton River and the South Coast waterfront; The Fall River heritage and the Lizzie Borden history; Newport and the Rhode Island coast nearby. Seasonal highlights include Battleship Cove events and tours in nearby Fall River, SouthCoast beach season at Horseneck and the coast (summer), Fall River and SouthCoast festivals (summer and fall). Somerset rewards visits in every season, from green-season hiking and water days to brilliant autumn foliage and quiet, snow-dusted winters. And because Somerset sits within easy reach of Rhode Island, Brockton, Plymouth, it works well as a base for wider day trips across the region.

Make a night of it

Pair your soak with an unforgettable evening

A hot tub stay in Somerset isn't just about the soak — it's about what you do before you slip in. These pairings turn an ordinary night into a story you'll repeat.

01.

Battleship Cove Tour & River View

Cross into Fall River to tour the USS Massachusetts and Battleship Cove, then return to Somerset to settle in at the riverside hotel with a quiet evening.

02.

Horseneck Beach & Pool Recovery

Spend the day swimming or walking at Horseneck Beach on the SouthCoast shoreline, then return to the hotel to cool off in the pool before dinner.

03.

Fall River Heritage & River Relax

Explore Fall River's historic downtown and the Lizzie Borden house, then return to the Riverview's riverside setting for an evening unwind.

04.

South Coast Farm Stand & Swim

Tour the local wineries and farms of the South Coast, pick apples or sample cider, then return to the hotel to swim and settle in.

For couples

Why a Somerset hot tub suite works for romance

Somerset is not a romantic destination — it is a quiet residential town across from the busier Fall River. The Riverview Inn & Suites is a budget riverside property with a pool, but its low 2.4 rating reflects significant service, cleanliness, and upkeep complaints that make it a poor choice for a couple's getaway. If you are set on the South Coast, consider Fall River, Providence, or Newport instead, where better-rated hotels and more attractions await. If you must stay in Somerset, the Riverview is the only option, but confirm details directly and set expectations to utilitarian overnight rather than a getaway experience.

Many of the Somerset properties below offer extras on request — champagne service, rose-petal turn-down, or late check-out. Mention your occasion at booking; most front desks try to help.

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How bad is the Riverview Inn's 2.4 rating?

It reflects consistent complaints about cleanliness, service, and property upkeep. Reviews mention dirty rooms, unresponsive staff, and a run-down feel. It is not recommended for leisure or couples' travel — only for budget-conscious travelers who need a cheap overnight and are willing to accept a bare-minimum experience. Confirm specifics directly with the hotel before booking and read recent reviews.

Does the Riverview Inn have a pool?

Yes, a pool is listed among the amenities. However, confirm it is operational when you call to reserve, as the property's low rating raises questions about maintenance. Ask directly and request a room near the pool if you plan to use it.

Are there better hotel options near Battleship Cove?

Yes — Fall River has multiple better-rated hotels, including the Wellsworth Hotel (4.0 rating in Southbridge, about 20 minutes away) and chains in nearby towns. If Battleship Cove is your target, staying in Fall River or a nearby higher-rated location will provide a significantly better experience than the Somerset Riverview Inn.

When should I visit Somerset?

Summer brings beach season and higher rates. Spring and fall offer pleasant weather at lower prices. Winter is quiet and cold. Given the Riverview Inn's poor rating, any season is risky — consider alternative towns and hotels in Fall River, Providence, or Rhode Island instead for a better travel experience.

For Budget travelers Is the Riverview Inn a good budget option?

It is Somerset's only hotel option, and rates start at $130/night with a pool on the property. However, the 2.4 rating reflects frequent complaints about cleanliness, service, and upkeep. It should be approached as a last-resort overnight only — confirm room condition, confirm the pool is operational, and verify the pet policy and other details directly before booking. Read recent reviews carefully and be prepared for a basic, utilitarian experience at best.

For Beach travelers Is Somerset a good base for the SouthCoast beaches?

Horseneck Beach and the SouthCoast shoreline are a short drive away, but Somerset itself has no beach — it is a residential riverside town. The Riverview Inn's low rating makes it a risky choice. Better alternatives are in Fall River (Battleship Cove) or further south and east on the Cape or in Rhode Island, where better-rated hotels and beach access pair together.

For History enthusiasts Is Somerset good for Battleship Cove?

Battleship Cove and the USS Massachusetts are in Fall River, just across the river from Somerset — a short drive. The Riverview Inn's low rating makes it a poor base for exploring. If Battleship Cove is your target, staying in Fall River itself or a nearby higher-rated town is a smarter choice that will provide a better overall experience.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
