20th Wedding Anniversary!
Overall, we had an incredible stay at the hotel! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, in regards to suggestions on where to eat and fun places to visit. We received breakfast vouchers for the Mermaid Cafe next door and were treated to a delicious breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable and had everything that we needed for our stay. We will definitely be staying here again in the future and recommending the hotel to others!

The Riverview is a beautiful little hotel built in the 1800s it still has its quaint charm and the staff are very welcoming and accommodating. It's located only a few blocks from the beach and it is one of the nicest places to stay in the area.
