River Hotel of Southport

This is the best hotel ever. Perfect, clean, spacious, comfortable, and inviting rooms with a large bathroom (excellent water temp and pressure in shower & bathtub), full kitchen (with full fridge/freezer, microwave, stove, coffee maker, cups/plates/bowls/cooking utensils & cookware), big screen smart tv, large dresser/cabinet with beach towels, excellent indoor and natural light, great A/C unit, a dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi, a private balcony with a table and chairs, and personal touches “The Dream Team” provides to make you feel warmly welcomed. Awesome, excellently-maintained pool and outdoor shower to wash off sand after enjoying their quiet, private beach with incredible views you can enjoy by relaxing on provided lounge chairs and a wooden swing. Outdoor patio with tables, chairs, and umbrellas to enjoy outdoor grilling and time with friends and family. Free parking with first-come-first-serve options if you want covered parking that is close to the steps and elevators. A great place for solo travelers, couples, and families. Also, this is *the* place to stay if you want to easily access (I did so on foot for the 4th of July parade and fireworks without dealing with traffic) downtown Southport and the waterfront parks and restaurants. Thank you for some of the best days of my life! So happy and grateful I chose this magnificent hotel! Thank you, Jack, Virginia, Christy, Tonya, Lori, George, and Ralph for everything you did to make me smile and feel right at home! See you all in the fall!

Absolutely the best 2 night stay I have ever stayed at. We loved our river view balcony. I literally sat out there for hours. Loved the pool and river beach. The pier was amazing as well. Loved the elevator that made it so easy. The beds were so cozy and the room was plenty big enough. I can go on and on but let’s just say we loved this place and Southport so much that we decided that’s where we want to retire at. The sunsets will literally melt your worries away! Absolutely breathtaking! All the food was good down there and the shops felt like family. Everyone was friendly! So yeah 10/10!

Beach towels included, pool access, and beach access.

We loved everything about River Hotel! The pool was lovely with plenty of chairs. The beach was perfect…quiet and chairs available. Husband enjoyed fishing out on the pier and the huge patio had lots of tables and chairs… great for enjoying a meal outside! There is some covered parking but plenty outside too. The balcony was enjoyable to relax and had two comfortable chairs. It is close to town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Loved it!

I liked being able to see the river from our balcony. (The river view is not available from all rooms.) Clean spacious room. Even the top blanket smelled clean! The room had a kitchenette. This place has a nice pool and lounge area. Parking was good. There is an elevator also. Staff was friendly.
