We've been coming to Riveredge for years. We look forward to seeing what is in store with the change in ownership!! Was a bit annoying there was no hose spigot so we couldn't rinse sand off our feet after beach time. But the thing we were most disappointed with was the major change to breakfast options (really now just a Continental, not real breakfast). The previous owners always had hard boiled eggs and either bacon or sausage. That's gone now and since I have diabetes, there was literally NOTHING I could eat (just bread, waffles, more bread, pastries, sweetened yogurt and fruit). So sadly....no free breakfast for us anymore. Please consider bringing back some real breakfast that has protein selections. The elimination of breakfast food we could eat was a major disappointment regarding the changes the new management is making. It could make us wonder about keeping Riveredge as our 'every time go to' in Colonial Beach, because we typically choose places that offer breakfast. Also very much hoping the prices won't be going up w/ new management, it's reasonable now and we like that. We appreciate it's always clean, but fixing it up (which it does need) isn't going to make it any fancier than any other decent strip motel. We probably wouldn't opt to pay much more than we're paying now. Thank you for considering our opinions!

We were only here for about 12 hours, but what we saw we liked a lot. Starting off the check-in was smooth and easy with Shawna. The surrounding areas had nice mulch and plants. The hotel itself is a very nice brick two-story building. Parking was spacious. The room was your average to bed with a tiny desk and a closet to hang clothes along with a dresser. The bathroom is kind of small, but you’re not using the bathroom that much anyway. It’s located directly across the American Legion so be sure to bring your membership card. Speaking of locality, restaurants and bars are all walkable. It is strategically located on the Potomac river with plenty of beach. Highly recommend and I’m definitely staying here again. Also, there is a very spacious pool with plenty of room to hang out. The pool itself looked very clean as well. While we were there, we saw maintenance people cleaning the pool watering plants and just looked like they cared.

The stay was nice and convenient location to what we wanted to do. It is an old establishment so it could use some remodeling. However the beds and amenties was all we needed.

Disappointing

This is a budget beachside hotel. The location is good for Colonial Beach, but the overall quality and cleanliness was disappointing. The room was not totally clean and there were damaged or broken things everywhere. For example, the smoke alarm was simply hanging above the door by its electric connecting cords. It makes you question everything. I will never visit this hotel or the beach again. I also learned that I paid $100 more by booking through this platform. Booking directly was much cheaper. The price on this platform indicating a nicer hotel than in actuality.
