Riverside Motel - Motel in Fultonville - 2 Riverside Dr, USA

My son had no choice but to stay here until an apartment was found for him. I was disgusted when I went in; filthy carpet, everything is dirty and broken down. It’s ridiculous that he has to pay $450 A WEEK FOR THIS DUMP!!!

Basic, overpriced, but pretty comfortable. There is noooo reason this place should charge anything over $50/night, aside from being the only option within a few miles. Everything is worn out and beat up. That said, after a long day on the trail, it has a warm shower and a decent bed, which is enough for a night, and I’m glad it’s here. NOTE: If you have a reservation and you’re arriving in the evening, MAKE SURE you contact them earlier so they know when to expect you. Otherwise the staff will go to bed/go home, won’t answer your calls, and you’ll be stuck. I had to wake up the maintenance guy (or maybe he’s the manager? He stays in Room 10 FYI) to give me my key when I rolled in at 8pm. There was nobody in the office, phone calls went unanswered. He was super nice about it but still, if a random guest hanging out outside hadn’t told me where to find him, I would’ve been screwed.

Tragically gross. It took us 10 minutes after arriving, checking in and entering our room to turn around load up and leave. There is no way is it Covid sanitized. The lobby outside, across the parking lot, has the only microwave. There is no mini fridge. There was toothpaste on the sink knobs. The room we paid for was a double but there was only one dilapidated towel and wash rag. The shower was a very, very small cubicle area. The bedding was something out of the 70’s and looked dirty. Given the lack of cleanliness in the restroom, we can only imagine the filth on the bedspreads. It was very small, very dirty, very depressing and overpriced. 90$ for a double that has only enough room in it to walk between the two beds and had zero amenities (no microwave or fridge and only one towel and wash rag) is grossly overpriced. There was no garbage can in the lobby which was grossly inconvenient when you needed to use the microwave there. It is pet friendly.... so there’s that.

Horrible. Filthy beds, with what appeared to be either mildew stains or the fecal leftovers of bed bugs, unwashed stained linens, and human hairs visible small room with no refrigerator or microwave, and it stunk. I left there quickly. The attendant was rude.

Do you like bedbugs? Do you like flies in your sink (both alive and dead)? Do you like wondering if the sheets had ever actually been washed? Do you like mystery stains on the carpet? Do you like no hot (only barely lukewarm) showers? Do you like thinking “I would have been better off in a tent in the woods”? If so, this is the motel for you! If those things don’t sound appealing, I *highly* suggest going elsewhere. (Edited to add: I’m not being theoretical about the bedbugs. I actually saw some with my own eyes, and am covered in large welts from bites. Be warned!)

We have been here twice. Once because the holiday inn was sold out and once by choice. My litmus test of a small motel is can I walk on the carpet and not feel ewwww. ||||We travel with our dog. Most hotels put you in the worst rooms and really don't like pets. ||||The first time we went with another couple. When we checked in we asked for rooms next to each other. Where's the easy button!!!!||||Saturday we went to a party and decided at the last minute to stay over. The manager had to leave but told us which room and he would leave it unlocked. We settled up later for our bill. ||||So, if you want an inexpensive motel, with wifi, clean beds, carpet is clean and the shower heavenly try this out. It's not the Hilton but still a great place to stay give it a try. ||||Good foot at the TA truck stop less than a block away.

There has been no hot water for 2 days it went from being hot to warm to freezing. My AC/heater hasn't worked since October. They gave me a small space heater that makes the room so stuffy. The rooms have bed bugs. They bomb one room the bed bugs travel to the next room. My boyfriend and I get eaten alive at night.

Coming from Ohio we wanted a cheap place to crash. Yes room was small but it fit the purpose. It was very clean. When the heater kicked on, the fan was loud, but not horrible. The reviews on the beds being hard were true, not camping on the ground hard. You can hear a train every so often but again not crazy loud. I'm a light sleeper so everything wakes me up. Parking lot is a tight fit. Overall if you need a place to stay that's cheap it's fine.
