Great site
Kitchen well supplied. Little extras like nuts and cereal. Only problem for some is stairs and no elevator. We did not think much of the salads at the restaurant across the street.
Very nice!
We were pleased with our room. Patty, the manager, was extremely helpful and pleasant. We'd definitely stay there again.
Off the beaten path
This summer, hotels are busy and expensive! The Riverdale Inn is a unique stay, cheaper than the rest and would be perfect for extended stay for fishing or exploring the area, since It comes with a kitchen. The town is very quiet and has an unusual history. Patty, the host, is very communicative and accommodating. The room is homey and they have done their best to make it comfortable, but it is a bit crowded and shabby chic. Our apartment had a fellow overhead who left early for work — that can happen anywhere!
The night sky
The Milky Way is faint overhead on the clearest nights; the brighter stars and constellations are easy.

Riverdale Inn - what a gem!!
Patty was incredible! Very communicative, kind and helpful. The room was tidy, clean, and had everything we needed and more. The Riverdale Inn was the best small town hotel we’ve stayed at and we would 100% stay here again!
The room had a wonderful little kitchen stocked with everything we needed plus a full sized fridge. The communication was among the best we've had during our travels. The manager contacted us to let us know that there were no local grocery stores so if we wanted to cook we should bring supplies. The beds were comfortable. The shower was hot. The A/C was cold. The whole place was very clean. There were outdoor chairs and tables to enjoy. Snacks and breakfast items were provided. Laundry was on site and free. We couldn't have asked for more.
