I loved the views - both from the French Quarters building and from the main building. The Inn sits right on the Ohio River and has a lawn that sweeps down. Our last night, we got a cocktail at the bar and sat out on the deck of the main building. It was very tranquil! The staff was very friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. Our room was very clean, and I really liked the bedding, and the towels were so soft!

Based on the online pictures, it was hard to tell what our room was going to look like exactly. Our room was in the French Quarters building; it wasn't dirty or uncomfortable, but perhaps a bit more minimal than I was expecting. The French Quarters building is basically cinder block, so the room has a different "feel" to it. The TV is a smart TV, but you have to sign in with your own accounts to watch anything. Some accounts were already signed in, but I wasn't sure if these were accounts from the Inn or from past guests. Since we were staying more than 1 night, it would have also been nice to have an extra washcloth or hand towel.

The staff was absolutely amazing! Booking made several errors on our reservation, and the staff spent a LOT of time making sure our trip went smoothly. More, they were welcoming and hugely thoughtful throughout! For a large family gathering, being able to rent several rooms together and use the balconies to gather was perfect! The rooms are not fancy but are spacious and clean. The proximity to downtown Madison allowed us to easily walk to town to enjoy the fun of Madison. The view of the river and the music at night made memories. It was a great trip due to the staff and place!

The showers were very small and a bit hard to use.

The deck and seating facing the river is wonderful! The view is amazing and we could sit there for quite a while just watching people and the River. The live music and the food truck was a plus. We didn’t utilize it but they will provide transportation via golf cart.

Our room was a little smaller than we would have liked but it was ok. We had a “pool view” room. It was fine but for us, the River view would have been better. We chose the pool room because it was less expensive but we didn’t realize how much smaller the room was. Again, we did just fine, it wasn’t terrible.

We loved the back deck! Came with a giant Connect 4 game, Tiki Ring Toss, tons of rocking chairs and even live music! We took a tour of Madison on a golf cart. The artwork everywhere was amazing! Zac was great and very personable to us all. Makes a good long Island iced tea too! The owner and every staff member we came in contact with were helpful and truly seemed to love their jobs! That makes a huge difference! Would definitely book there again!

The bed was SO comfortable - it was super soft, yet not hard on the back. Breakfast was good. We upgraded to a suite when we arrived because there wasn't enough seating for us in the standard room. Definitely with the upgrade price for the size and comfort of the room. Gorgeous location by the river and the bridge; beautiful deck, with both covered and open space; Easy walk into nice historic small town.

Didn't bother us, but the suites are on the second floor with only stairs. Wish the pool had been open.

We were visiting Madison for its historical importance and I feel that the Riverboat Inn fits right in with this genre. The buildings are older with concrete stairs leading to the second floor. The room was simply decorated but it was very clean. Even though we didn't get a view of the river, we could go on the deck off the lounge area and enjoy the view. The breakfast was simple grab and go, but it was adequate.

The bed was a little too stiff. Also, felt the room could be laid out better to accommodate two queen size beds.

I was extremely pleased and extremely impressed with this property not only was a very cozy, comfortable and clean, but the staff were exceptional. I never would’ve expected to see a bar when we walked in, and everyone there was so accommodating and friendly. My fiancé and I will definitely be coming back to this establishment soon.

The only thing I could say was about is the refrigerator in our suite was not turned on, and I did not realize it until the next morning when I went to take my leftovers out

Staff was wonderful, accommodating and make good suggestions. Beautiful on the river. They had music which was fantastic. Great location. We were able to walk to almost everything. With the continental breakfast the price was very good. They're having some art put on the outside and we talk to the artist. Very lovely!

The floor in our room was somewhat dirty so he had to keep washing our feet. That was the only thing we didn't like.

Located in a very cute town with lots to do nearby. We had a suite with a great view of the Ohio River, and a large private back porch. A band played on the weekend, which could have been a bit annoying if you wanted some peace and quiet, but they were so good we really enjoyed the music!

There was not a microwave in the room. We could have used one to heat up some leftovers or make popcorn in the evening.

Breakfast was fine as I am not a big breakfast eater. I enjoyed getting up early in the morning, drinking coffee on the outdoor deck watching the barges on the river. Very relaxing. The staff went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.

The only issue I had was trying to figure out the TV in my room.
