Riverview Motel

BEWARE!
This place is a dump!!! We go down to Mammoth Springs once a year and usually stay up at the Mammoth Spring Lodge, but decided to give this place a try. The ONLY thing going for this place is the view. The people that own this couldn’t care less about updating or cleaning anything!
The first room they put us in had dead bugs in the windows, and the toilet hadn’t been cleaned. The second room wasn’t much better but then I noticed the box spring on my mom’s bed that looked like something had been slaughtered on it or worse. Trains also go by every 30 minutes in the middle of the night.
If you want a view of the river, eat up at the corner at the river bend. Sleep at the Mammoth Spring Lodge.

So bad. Dead, smashed flies. Just keep driving, Or turn around and drive bsck to Mammoth Spring Lodge.

Reason for Travel: My husband and I rent a room here for a hot shower ONLY while camping at our shower-​less land on Spring River
Duration: Saturday & Sunday night
Review:
Booking Servies: Called 1 week in advance, due to needing a room over Labor Day weekend. However, on non-​holiday events, I have called a few hours in advance.
Guest Services: Each time I reserve a room here, I always speak to a real person, probably the owner, always friendly. American.
Security: Well-​lit parking lot at night. It’s located on a busy highway, but seriously, I don’t sleep here.
Room: For approx $ 65, what do you really expect? There is a coffee maker in the room with a round table and 2 chairs. The décor is from the 1950s, probably when the place was constructed.
Cable t.v. but the screen was in the 13″ range, I think. Seriously, I didn’t stay long enough to watch it.
Bathroom: Small & Cramped! The water pressure could use an update, but when you have nothing, it beats taking a pollock bath in the frigid Spring River!
Breakfast: I don’t know if they serve breakfast & even if they do, I wouldn’t eat it.
They have an outdoor pool, but there was NO WAY I was getting it that!
They get ¼ of a Star for having a bed. This place is a step up from a one hour motel imho. Actually, I wish it were a 1 hour motel; that way, I could just pay for an hour to take a shower =)
Oh, the view from the back of the place is a gem, but be forwarned… the train alarms ALL NIGHT LONG!
Of course I’ll rent here again. It is the closest/​cheapest place to take a shower from where my land is located. However, if you are just visiting the area & need more in lieu of accommodations, I’d probably rent from the lodge on the hill or in neighboring Hardy town.

Beautiful view of the river from the motel. Very outdated, musty but for $ 65 what do you expect.
