River Hotel of Southport

Keith Thrasher

This Hotel was fantastic! Probably the best room in a hotel we have stayed in…ever! Completely renovated and spacious. All the amenities you could need. An extra plus is that it is quiet, which lends well to the quaintness of Southport. Nothing is to far for a walk or drive. Staff was also very nice and rooms were extremely clean!! We will be back! Thank you!

This is is super clean and a good location. It says a kitchen but it doesn’t have a oven. I chose this place because my husband loves to fish and the pier is gone. Great live music twice a week and the staff is amazing. My biggest pet peeve is there were no curtains. I have trouble sleeping once the sunrises. I wouldn’t risk swimming here because there are signs that say ware of alligators. My husband tried fishing but only got a few bites because the water was so shallow and the pier is MIA. Very friendly place and everything is in walking distance. I would recommend this place

This hotel is better than top tier hotel lines. My husband and I were so pleasantly surprised. The rooms are spacious, lots of windows, modern (granite counter tops, full size fridge, and huge walk in shower, hard floors, etc), and had the most comfortable mattress we’ve ever had at a hotel. We slept so great. The view is also great and the hotel is close to downtown Southport. We’ll be back.

We were on the third floor in the second building back from the waterfront and our room was on the south side (not parking lot side) so we did have a pretty good water view. The building, room, and parking lot all were immaculate. Another post mentions that renovations were recently done and we would agree that seems to be the case. I know this is somewhat subjective, but we found the beds to be too soft for us. As a reference, we have Sleep Number beds at home and use #40-#45. These beds are much softer than this range. I saw this mentioned in another post and was hoping they would not be too soft. OK for some, not for us. I will also confirm the blinds in our room are not light blocking. When the sun comes up, yes the room is very bright. The daily cleaning staff is terrific. We felt a tip was very appropriate. I want to restate how clean everything is! As of our stay, June 2022, there is no construction on the adjacent lots. According to one of the staff, the lot on our side of the building was sold, but she was not aware of what will be built there. Perhaps a marina. We would like to go back, but those beds....
