We had a great time at this motel! We rented the apt that included a private deck right on the river with wonderful mountain views one direction (and sunrise!) and the Sawtooth mountains the other. The room was very clean, the kitchenette was well outfitted for our needs and having our own bbq and outdoor patio set provided a wonderful... more

I spent a long weekend at the Riverside and LOVED it. My back deck looked out on the Sawtooths and the front porch looked out on the river. It was conveniently located. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The owners were both very nice. The only downside was that my refrigerator didn't work. more

The Riverside Motel has good rooms with kitchenettes; a wonderful deck, a fantastic view, and is right on the river. Unfortunately, the owner is an extremely rude person, seems to hate her job, and her guests. If you can stand the rudness of the owner, it is one of the best places to stay in Stanley; but don't expect to... more

The accomodations are very nice as are the views. The owner was very rude. I agree with another review in that she acts as though she is put out by her guests. She even made derisive comments on more than one occasion. Great stay for those with tough skin. more

Well, we were pleased with the location, of course. Stanley is beautiful. I love the Sawtooths. In al honesty, the only reason I would not stay at the Riverside again would be because of the lack of hospitality on the owner's part. She struggled to be friendly, and told us we should expect to deal with noisy neighbors. On the... more

We (my husband and I and our 7 year old daughter) spent five nights at the Riverside Motel at the end of July 2006. It was everything I had hoped it would be. We had a river front room on the ground floor. The room is good sized, and seemed fairly new. There were two comfortable (firm, but not hard)... more

This is easily one of the nicest motels we have ever stayed in, by far the best in Stanley. We had the King Fireplace room on the second floor. It was immaculate, furnished with knick-knacks, and very clean. There was a small kitchen with all utensils, no stove. If you stay here, the extra $10 for the fireplace room ($135)... more

We had booked a room originaly with another lodge and cancelled after seeing the facilities. This riverside lodge was just what we were looking for while visiting a wonderful place like Stanley. We stayed four days. Sat on the deck wrapped in blankets as the area got an early snow. Headed back in 2006 Mike and Erica more

We really enjoyed staying at this motel. Had we been fishermen we could have cast off from the motel deck. The room was clean. Beds were quite comfortable and the sound of the river flowing by soothing. Wish we could have stayed longer Kitchen was fully equipped but if you plan to cook, I'd recommend bringing your own skillet. Kitchen... more

We stayed here in late September, which is a great time of year in Stanley. The interior of the motel is modest, but the location is truly spectacular. Sitting out on the beautiful decks to read, visiting with friends and hearing the river was wonderful! However, the owner is not very friendly toward children and told us she doesn't "cater... more
