Riverside Hot Springs Inn & Spa - Adults Only

Riverside Hot Springs Inn & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"The best way to think about the Riverside Inn is to imagine that you’re driving through southern Italy and come upon a charming but old and not terribly well maintained hotel. Your room is OK, not great, but you are able to have cocktails and a quite good dinner outside on a lovely patio next to a flowing river. You can also soak in the lava spring hot tubs in the basement. Pretty good deal."
