Stayed here for a quick getaway. Rooms are clean and newly renovated. Great location on the river with a nice fire pit, patio and lawn. Dog friendly too! Walking distance to the Main Street too. Jude and Melina offered amazing customer service from our reservation to our stay. Highly recommend!

The rooms are renovated, but still older. Beds were super! Shower was adequate, but not anything amazing. Only 2 rooms have the riverside balcony, and are booked most of the time. Didn’t matter tho. The outside fire pit area is lovely. Hang out, enjoy the ambiance. River was low. A path down would be nice, but easy to walk around to a better place. Prices were excellent value for the area. Would definitely come back. Great for dogs.

An absolutely beautiful location right in front of the river, with good parking, I personally don't mind older hotels. I honestly prefer them. Had all the accommodations that you would need. They even had a spot to cook and hang out by the fireplace in front of the river as well as a fenced dog area for your pets. The staff was awesome. Very friendly. My only complaint is that I wish we had more time to spend here but we are in the middle of a cross-country move. I'll definitely be bookmarking this place for a vacation in the future. Special thanks to Evan for a warm welcome, I hope you can get out to see the coast someday!

We had a fabulous stay at the Riviera Motor Lodge. The rooms were spacious and had everything you could need - fridge, coffee, excellent (& large) television, and very comfortable beds. The location on the river is great - sitting out by the fire pit was ace - and the free equipment rental was an unexpected bonus! We didnt get a chance to use the bikes but the boys tried out the fishing gear! It surpassed my expecations - being from England I wont find myself in Saratoga too often but if I do I will definitely stay at the Rivera! Oh and the staff were awesome - low key helpful and friendly, perfect.

The best place we stayed on our trip! The rooms were very clean! The outside seating area is absolutely wonderful, the fire pit, bbq grills, picnic tables, all the seating & the view of the river. The rocking chairs are a great place to have coffee in the mornings and watch the river. If we ever make it back to Saratoga we will definitely be staying here again!!

The Riviera has certainly improved lately. The rooms we're clean and spruced up. Our room was small but nice and our brother's room had a table. There is plenty of parking including slots for trailers and trucks. There were 2 huge logging trucks that had plenty of room to park. The riverside area includes a large patio with seating and a fire in the evenings. The grassy area has picnic tables and a gas grill for lodgers to use. They provide games, snowshoes, bikes, and other fun activities. I recommend staying here.
