Just returned from a long weekend In Madison, which is made even better by our stay at the Riverboat Inn. We fell in love with town for a quick get away several years ago we have stayed at several other hotels and Inns in the area and the Riverboat was suggested by some friends that we sent to Madison for...

We booked a room at the Riverboat Inn because it was close to where we needed to be. The building we stayed in (not the main building) actually appeared to be government housing thay had been converted to hotel use. The room (condo) smelled musty and smoked in, and did not have an iron or ironing board. The TVs had... More

Each year, my husband and I travel to Madison with his parents and while the men fish, "us" ladies shop. Afterwards, we meet back at the river, pack the fishing poles, tackle boxes, and everything else into the trunk and go back to the "Riverboat Inn" to refresh ourselves before traveling to the upper part of Madison to dine.

River Boat Inn- What can I say except, I love this hotel. I have been staying at the River Boat Inn since 2008. My husband and I have stayed here probably a total of 50 times in three years. We continue to stay here because of many things. You need to realize this is not like the typical hotel chains.... More

We stayed at the Riverboat Inn for several nights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to spend a few nights there on our vacation next year.

We stayed here this past weekend and were assigned a room in the Paddleboat Wing. It is a dump! It is damp and rundown. The "shuttle" driver (middle aged gentleman) would not come pick us up from this area - we have to walk to the main building. The breakfast is AWEFUL - synthetic eggs and bacon that you self-microwave.... More

I have stayed here many times at different times of the year This is an incredibly charming hotel with a lovely view of the Ohio River....Staff is efficient and friendly. Prices are very fair..with an increase on high demand weekends as expected. There are no phones or clocks...which is fine with me....and yes...maybe giant 65 inch flat screens would be... More

Where to start...First the price was outrageous for what we got, I have spent less at a hyatt or hilton then here. Room was tiny and dated, no phone or clock. flat screen tv was probably 15 inches. There was a refrigerator with a microwave on top of it below the tv. Shower had been renovated from a tub so... More

Owner has done alot to make each room an experience in decor. The view of the river is grand but it was much better when the riverboats used to come to Madison. So much for government interference! A well kept secret and Madison's best lodging! More
