We stayed here on a whim during a roadtrip through the tri-state area. This place is absolutely breathtaking. It's perfect even down to the little details and makes you pause to take it all in. It is everything you could possibly want for some r&r. Brilliant and beautiful!

I have stayed at the Riverboat Inn on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Many of the rooms are small but very adequate. When I am there I can revisit life's simple pleasures...such as sitting on the porch reading a book and watching the river barges. Very relaxing. On some evenings they have music outside the hotel. It now... More

Upon our travels south we always try to stay at the Riverboat Inn. It's on the river and a nice quiet place with entertainment in the evening if you choose to partake in it. Our room is 123 and we have stayed in it several times and have had NO problems what so ever. Kathie and the staff have always... More

The River Boat Inn again surpassed our expectations with an AWESOME New Years Eve Party. It was our first New Years Eve Party at the INN even though we stay here probably 50 times per year. The country music by Micky Clark and his five piece band was the best. I have never seen so much food at a party.... More

If you want to stay at an Ohio riverfront hotel, this is the place. The view of the river traffic and the hillside across the river is the best I've seen. If you have a mechanical bent, the bridge construction is interesting to watch. I enjoyed the riverside deck. It's a good place to socialize with the other guests while... More

I took my mother here for her 70th birthday. I was VERY disappointed, and recommend everyone avoid this place! First, the bridge right next to the inn is under construction. So you will listen to a bridge being built from 8am-6pm every day! (Of course no mention of this when making a reservation.) They have tried to make the deck... More

We were satisfied with our room. nothing special. We love sitting out on porch relaxing. There was live music till 10, but not loud. Staff is extremely helpful and accomodating to my request. soap, shampoo, and conditioner in room, frig and microwave too

Don't stay in room 115 unless you want to hear and feel the music and smell the smoke from the fire pots. Tiny room that costs the same as larger rooms with two bedrooms upstairs, no amenities, not even hand soap. It is right on the patio, the musician played until after 11 pm and we could not talk or...

There are some traditional "big box" motels in Madison. If you want predictable comfort stay there. If you are a bit adventurous and want something fun and different, The Riverboat Inn might be for you. You get a great view of the Ohio River and the bridge to Kentucky. The staff is very friendly. There is entertainment on the veranda... More
