What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 370 guest reviews
The Riverboat Inn & Suites earns consistently high marks for its friendly, attentive staff, scenic Ohio River location, and charming antique-style décor that guests describe as warm and welcoming. Practical drawbacks are minor but real: rooms and showers can be compact, the continental breakfast is basic, and there is no full restaurant on site. Overall, the overwhelmingly positive sentiment suggests a well-run, characterful property with only modest limitations.
