Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“It’s been around since 2007, but River Inn still manages to fly under the radar, and in fact, many Memphians don’t even know it’s there. On the banks of the river, in the yuppie waterfront community of Harbor Town, this boutique hotel feels very European: it’s perfect for an anniversary or other romantic occasion.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Memphis.

Fodors review:

“The River Inn of Harbor Town is a new property that has the look and feel of an elegant European Inn, with antique fixtures, reclaimed wood floors, four-poster beds, flower boxes, and windows that actually open.”

Telegraph review:

“River Inn of Harbor Town is the anchor of a planned community along the Mississippi. It provides impeccable service, breathtaking views, Old World-style charm, Southern hospitality and a slow pace of life, just 10 minutes from the legendary blues on Beale Street.”

A romantic getaway for a couple married 47 years!

Our stay was too short, but a highlight of a long road trip. Every person on the staff was outstanding. We loved our room, the food at Paulette's, a walk by the river.

Loved it. Would go back the next time I am in Memphis.

I loved the location. And the room was amazing. We had views of the River from every room in our suite. They brought us port wine and chocolates every evening. It was very nice. And they had good bath products. The shampoo, conditioner, soap, and shower gels were great. I have long hair and I always need extra shampoo and conditioner. Sometimes hotels don’t want to give me an extra shampoo and conditioner but they were very nice about it and they even brought it up to room which I appreciated. We also wanted a Diet Coke at one point. The hotel does not have vending machines so I called the Terrace restaurant and they came right over and delivered Diet Cokes to our room and they even brought us a refill which we did not ask for but it was nice that they did that anyway. The lady at the front desk was very nice. All of the cleaning staff where nice. All around just very nice people that anticipated our needs and did a great job.

My stay included breakfast every morning; however, the restaurants at the hotel changed the menus for Easter. I was not allowed to get regular breakfast food. Instead they were offering an abbreviated menu that did not include regular breakfast food (eggs, bacon, toast) and we were told no exceptions to the Easter menu. There was only one thing I could eat that was being offered and that was an appetizer for breakfast. I would have gone somewhere else for breakfast but we couldn’t find anything that was open that did not need prior reservations because of the holiday. Not the end of the world but it was annoying since I took the holiday into consideration when I was planning the trip so that I could ensure we were able to eat somewhere that day. Also, I have very bad allergies to down and asked in my booking request that there be no down pillows and bedding in the room. When we arrived, my husband always does a sweep of the room to check for down before I come in the room. Sure enough, three of the 6 pillows had down in them. He was able to remove the pillows and put them in a closet before I came in the room. The pillows did not touch my side of the bed so I was able to lay in the sheets without having to change them and I did not have an allergy attack. I would just suggest though that they make sure to pay special attention to allergy accommodation requests because allergies are no joke and can actually kill someone. I do carry an epipen for severe allergy attacks. To present date, I have never had to use the epipen for down reactions; however I do have several allergies that I have had to use it for. But hives, itching, swelling, watery eyes, and nasal symptoms are my normal reaction to down and that would not have been fun to experience on the trip and thankfully that did not happen but very easily could have. Overall, the hotel was very nice and I would definitely go back.

Everyone works so hard to make our stay pleasant. We had a few disappointments, but overall good.

We have stayed here before and it is our hotel of choice in Memphis. Great atmosphere.

When we booked, asked for river rooms. We only got one, and the toilet malfunctioned in that one and we wound up with neither having a riverview.

It was a perfect stay and we will be back again when our plans include a stay in Memphis.

Breakfast was awesome and the location was perfect. Enjoyed the river view and relative seclusion of the property while enjoying several dining options.

The champaign could have been colder upon arrival and a bottle in the room would have been even better, The hotel entrance from the rear parking lot could have been better signed.

We love this place!! It is perfectly situated in relation to our daughter's residence and very nice. The breakfast included with the room is delightful.

Great Location

The area was beautiful by the river and near by restaurants were inviting...nevertheless we headed down to BB Kings for baby back ribs and jazz/Blues music and enjoyed that immensely. The chocolates and port wine were a treat to come back to. Staff were responsive and friendly.

The A/c shut off at night and the room became warm...just did not expect that at this luxury resort.
