The Riverside Motel is so cozy with a swing out side each room to relax and watch the boats traveling down the Cape Fear River The location is great. Right near the water front park. You can walk to shops and restaurants. The rooms are nice and beds very comfy. We enjoyed staying during the July 4th weekend. Was a fun time to visit Southport. Also close to a ferry ride to Ft Fisher

Have wanted to stay at this motel and we booked to celebrate our anniversary. Room was clean and we enjoyed the back porch. Staff were helpful and very nice. We were in room 2 and staff informed us about the restaurant beside us- was no problem for us. Really enjoyed!

Absolutely heaven! This little vintage riverside motel was so cute and we could not have asked for a more perfect location. Being right on the river and sitting on the porch swing was just the most relaxing time for us all. Southport is such a quaint coastal town and everyone that we met were absolutely charming. Walking distance to the riverside restaurants and boutiques were a plus. My happy place..

We have been coming here for years & it is always nice & clean & we love having a swing overlooking the river to swing on. But, it hasn’t been updated since 2002! if these owners would only invest a few thousand more dollars into this place to upgrade the mattresses, hang a larger TV on the wall ( with more channel choices), put in new flooring in bathroom & change tubs into stand up showers it would be a much nicer place than it is. A little sprucing up would make a world of difference to allot of travelers.

Always a great getaway... especially when the traffic dies down in the evening. But not on the water!!! Never disappointed.....but I would advise anyone with allergies affected by perfume to be advised. They use strong fabric softener in bedding and towels. We had been able to handle it before this visit but it kept us from being able to breathe well and got no sleep.Unfortunately we lost a night's stay and the cost of it as well.

Want to stay in a place right on the water, passing boats, and Cape Fear River views? √Want simple and to not deal with long hallways, or elevators, or noisy families? √Want to walk around Southport downtown, and look at beautiful homes? √How about a short walk to several places to eat some lovely seafood? √Good people and a lovely place to stay. I'm looking forward to staying again!Richard

We stayed at the Lois Jane suite across the street in the upper suite. It was clean, absolutely spotless. They had cut fresh flowers and had them in a vase for a personal touch and table set elegantly. We loved the balcony with the rocking chairs overlooking the water and being in the heart of town. We didn't have to drive anywhere, our boys and us walked everywhere all over town shopping and eating dinner. We were right across from the waterfront park too, so we spent our nights fishing and swinging while watching boats. Can't wait to go back!

Oh my heart. My husband and I were here for four nights. The rooms are just charming and so very clean. The staff was friendly and offered wonderful information about Southport. This was our first visit here, it will not be our last. Of course, we will be found at the Riverside Motel! The rooms are right on the ocean! I can't believe I forgot to mention that.

This review is solely on room 2. I was excited to book this room based on pictures but was sorely disappointed.Pros: Book with info is helpful. Within walking distance of anything. The folks working there are nice, accommodating and clean, although we did go buy new pillows for fear of what we were sleeping on.Cons: The back door dead bolt doesn’t lock. The blinds don’t close completely and are broken. This room sits right next to the restaurant. The lights from the restaurant light up the room at night, looks like daylight outside. Had to leave blinds pulled due to proximity to people able to see in the room from the restaurant. One bed is sunken in middle. If 2 people are sleeping they roll to middle. Safety is a concern that the door is left unlocked with key and same key is used guest after guest, anybody could have copy made and come back. Random loud noises at night in room, as if ice is dropping from an ice maker that’s not there, but loud enough to startle us awake both nights. WiFi spotty at best with very weak cell signal (Verizon) in the room and right outside the room.Upon packing to leave, there was a roach/palmetto bug in our belongings. Unfortunately there’s no where in the room to set belongings other than the floor.
