Such a cute place to stay! There was some building work taking place next door but it didn’t really bother us! It has its own little beach and pool - watching the sunset was fab!

Upon entering the unit you were hit by an extreme musty (mold?) smell. The bed was spongy, dishes/glasses etc were sparse and missmatched. The balcony was just wide enough to open a folding chair and the floor in the room seemed to be uneven. The staff understood and without hesitation refunded the room

We loved our stay at the River Hotel! We’ve stayed a lot of places in Southport, and this was hands down the best. Housekeeping staff was wonderful and so sweet, the room was great, and having the pool and beachfront access was ideal! Easy walk or golf cart ride to downtown for shopping, restaurants, etc. Just down the road from Deep Point Marina and the ferries too!

The view is excellent and the beds were very comfortable. The room unfortunately smelled like someone smoked in there and it was attempted to be covered up with scented things. Bathroom fan did not work. Heavy equipment was working right next to the room but thankfully not on the weekend. The pool was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped.
