The room was meticulously clean. They had a regular size refrigerator, a stove top and a microwave with a full kitchen sink. Open clean space everything looked freshly painted and cleaned. Parking was simple and there was plenty of it. The Riverview was amazing and it was only a couple minutes to the main road where they had shopping the river and dining.

Loved that they have daily housekeeping. It’s completely renovated so everything is up to date. The private pier was a great place to hang out. Will always live Southport for this experience despite my boyfriend and I breaking up during our stay. Or maybe because of it?

A wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting on the River. Heather was wonderful with many recommendations for dinner and so much information. The room was very beautiful and comfortable. We LOVED the elevator as my husband had just had surgery! We enjoyed sitting on the "river beach." My one and only complaint is the gnats that come out in the evening on the beach and no one can fix that! lol! We just loved our stay and will be back!
