Riverview Inn & Suites
"A budget Riverview Inn & Suites on the Taunton River with a pool, low-rated (2.4) with frequent cleanliness and service complaints — approach as a last-resort overnight only."
About The Hotel
The Riverview Inn & Suites sits on Wilbur Avenue along the Taunton River in Somerset, a budget riverside hotel with a pool and a location close to Fall River and Battleship Cove. However, it carries a stark 2.4 rating across 154 reviews, reflecting frequent and serious complaints about cleanliness, service responsiveness, room condition, and general upkeep. The property is best understood as a last-resort overnight for value travelers who have exhausted other options and are willing to book with full transparency about its documented issues. Guests consistently note the rooms feel dated, maintenance is spotty, and customer service is unresponsive. This is not a comfortable, welcoming hotel — it is a bare-minimum, budget option that should be approached only by those prioritizing the lowest possible price and willing to tolerate a subpar experience.

“review of Riverside Inn and suites in Somerset disgusting not sure how your prejudice when you’re not even from the US so freaking weird Sorry my entire experience was deleted, but it’s a horrible, horrible feeling specially if you have any kind of service animals, they do not care about you or them unfortunately and do nothing but threatened to steal your security deposit very strange very awkward, but I took many pictures to fight any questions they keep saying and do anyone like me who is from the Cape Cod this look like nothing but peace, but the people are not peaceful. I warn you. Almost 1500 for six days you’re better off on Cape Cod lol I’m just from there so I thought I could get away from the tourist, but this was my biggest mistake ever please don’t do it. Also told me I don’t belong around here. Yes I’m Italian in African. I belong in Cape Cod where I was born and raised but you to tell me so awful. I’ve never felt like this in years and I’m 47 now with three adult children and three grandchildren so yes, I will speak up each and every time if not for me for them.” — Manny M., 1 star

What guests are saying about Riverview Inn & Suites.
"Whether one night or many (which mine turned into), this place is ideal! This hotel is SAFE, clean, quiet, realistically priced, has plenty of easy access parking and amazing, helpful staff from management to front desk to housekeeping staff (Ana and Maria)! There is a pool and even laundry facilities. Some rooms have a view of the peaceful Lee's River. Highway access is literally minutes away, meaning it is easy to get to multiple area attractions or events in Providence, Fall River and even the Cape as well as local shopping and dining! Speaking of dining there is a great restaurant and sports bar across the parking lot. In my opinion, this is a great value for all it has to offer!"

The restaurant had a good menu and the food was delicious and fresh ..sadly we were along with one other person in the beautiful dining room overlooking the river. Service was great, and very friendly waiter. Hotel staff overall were friendly though not that knowledgeable. We booked a room last minute at 8pm - we got a basic room, however considering the hotel was practically empty it would have been considerate to upgrade us to a River facing room instead of one facing the parking lot where we had to keep the curtains closed. We asked and we told we would be charged extra for a room facing the River. Makes no sense, if you want to bring people to your hotel, get great reviews - going the extra mile seems worth it. The hotel has a lot of history, take time to admire the features in the lobby and dining room, many purchased from famous estates around the country and globe. I was only informed about this upon check out which seemed a bit of a pity. Across the River is a park and walking trail but the neighborhood is a little sketchy and wouldn’t go there at night. Overall the hotel has beautiful views and some unique artifacts. Our room was large and clean and the bed comfortable but the room we got was dated and had to keep curtains drawn."
