Camden Riverhouse Hotel

This is the hotel we come back to year after year. We were excited to be able to bring our dog this year. They had a dog bed and treats for her when we arrived.
The price is set well for the age of the hotel, location, and amenities offered. The staff is welcoming and willing to help have a good time. They really engage is the hotel guests and that’s nice to see.
My only complaint is that for the 4^th year in a row, for this weekend in particular, they lose hot water for a stretch. I understand to a degree, but after spending basically two days out side, in the snow and on ice, it would be really nice to have at least a warm shower. Though, having all your guests come back from the toboggan races at once certainly doesn’t help the hot water system no matter where you are.
I can’t wait to go back next year. It’s my Camden home away from home.

Nestled in the cute, touristy, yet local-​flavored town of Camden with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Spacious and clean room with good quality furniture and beds! This hotel definitely caters to travelers with dogs, offering complimentary bowls, ball, bones and dog bed upon arrival. However, their pet policy is contradictory to promoting tourists to stay in their town and spend local. Their pet policy forbids you from leaving your dogs alone in the room. I’m not sure how guests could shop or dine in the local area with this policy, especially in the summer tourist season, as you couldn’t leave your pets in your car. As a result, I think this hotel is only for those quickly passing through if pets are along for the ride. While we didn’t partake in the continental breakfast, it looked great with a variety of pastries, breads, fresh made waffles and cereal. The atmosphere in the hotels common areas resembled a warm cozy home and the staff were pleasant. The hotel is solar powered, which I consider a plus. One of my favorite features of the room was a separate heater in the very spacious bathroom… bravo! Overall great stay and good quality facility and services.

The Riverhouse Hotel is a bit pricey for what it is. But from what I understand, all the hotels are in downtown Camden. I enjoyed staying here: clean, spacious room; very close to the main strip but tucked away just enough to allow me to not feel touristy; friendly staff and perks like a delicious breakfast spread and s’more-making material and a bonfire each night.
Now I’m just gettin’ picky: the water pressure in the shower was low and the wi-​fi was slow (but free). It was also difficult to find the hotel at first: the boyf and I drove in from the south and we did not realize that we needed to have either turned left on Mechanic Street (and then right on Washington Street) or left on Central Street (and then left on Cross Street, followed by another left on Washington Street). Tannery Lane, the road on which the parking lot and main entrance are located, is a one-​way street.

Kind of an older, tired hotel, although trying to keep up. Not a bad value. Breakfasts, however, are carbs and sugar. No protein. Rooms were clean, but the room was not as spiffed up the second night. Still had coffee in the container.

A solid 4, maybe 4.5. Clean, not outdated, great value for the money.
It’s been said before, but the service here is top notch. Plenty of free parking. They really aim to please. We were arriving late and they made arrangements to leave the keys and get us in late. The desk closes at 9 (a little weird) but they give everyone a key so it’s not a problem.
Location is great. It’s downtown, but a block off the main street so it’s quiet. Housekeeping cleaned the room early every day and that is a big plus. In the evening the firepit is going and they break out the smores. Free wi-​fi and computers in the lobby with printers. The rooms are pretty good size, with refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers. Nice touches.
Cons: – a couple of things. with all the space they have in the rooms, they could put in safes. It shouldn’t cost that much and people expect them. Also, the free continental breakfast is not that good. Coffee is seriously bad, bagels didn’t seem that fresh. Need to put a little effort here.
Overall, this place is great. Highly recommend it.

Location is perfect. Close to everything in Camden. I don’t think you’ll do much better in the area. Not many full service hotels in the area. Nice, but not intrusive staff. Clean and comfortable. Reasonably priced.

This place had it’s fair share of positives and negatives.
First, the location is perfect. It couldn’t be much closer to the downtown area of Camden. Perfect walking distance from everything in the town. Second, they were actually pet friendly. There’s a great little area in the back to take your pet out and we let her run up and down the halls when everyone was asleep.
I didn’t like that the pool closed very early (even earlier than the time posted in the room). We were really looking forward to that so it was disappointing. The front desk was already closed when we got in around 9, but they did a good job of leaving keys and instructions for us. The room was just fine, nothing spectacular but not uncomfortable. Spacious enough for all of us.
This hotel did the job, but was nothing to write home about.

Oh, what an experience.
Let’s first say, we got an upgrade to a balcony suite. Nice!
The bed, comfy!
The pool, nice. Closed except for weekends, but we bribed the front desk. So we got to use the pool and the hot tub!
The TV, brand new. Well, now, we weren’t gonna watch TV all the time, no, we will walk and enjoy Camden as usual. BUT, at 10pm, we want to watch TV. DID IT WORK? HA! NO, we had to plug it in and repplug it in. Too funny. NO really it was. My husband will put it better so I will let him write about it later!

Camden Riverhouse is a modest small hotel a stone’s throw from downtown Camden.
It is quite comfortable and comes with a very nice breakfast (waffles, cereal, breads, yogurt, etc).
Though it lacks the gourmet quality of a B&B, it has something B&Bs don’t have … an elevator!
So if you don’t like dragging your luggage up several flights of stairs and you can live without half-​a-​dozen pillows on your bed, Camden Riverhouse is a good choice.
Very friendly and helpful staff. No longer part of any hotel chain.
