I can't believe how clean this place was! There are cameras everywhere and we felt real safe. Very quite. Mattress was firm. Pillows soft. I travel alot with dance comp and this place is nicer than some holiday inns I've stayed.

Great little motel. Very quiet and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms are large and the showers are insanely huge with water that gets hot quick and sprays strong.

We really liked the location. It was centrally located between crater of diamonds and few mines we dug at. The price was exceptional, especially staying over a holiday weekend. The area was very quiet and we liked that. The manager was a sweet older gentleman who treated us great. The young ladies who took care of our room did a wonderful job. Will definitely stay here again if ever out that way.

Needed to book a place last minute after crystal mining. Found the Riverwood Inn on Priceline. Gentlemen in the office was friendly, room was clean and smelled so immediately upon opening the door. Appeared to be newly renovated. Comfortable bed and hot shower. Grounds well maintained. Not understanding all the negative reviews. I’ve unfortunately stayed in worse places that cost a lot more. Would recommend and will return when in the area.

THIS IS THE CLEANEST PLACE I'VE EVER STAYED! I always bring my own cleaning wipes and clean hotel rooms when I arrive. I have OCD and it's just for my own sanity. No one ever cleans the door, toilet or sink handles. There was no dirt on the wipe I used. I went through and cleaned everything. There was absolutely nothing on my wipes! The place smelled of lavender fabuloso. There was no dirty floors or mold anywhere. No hairs even! I was pleasantly surprised! The toilet was low for a 5'10 person. Just warning other tall people. The beds / MATTRESSES ARE FIRM. Just wanted to make sure that that's obvious for people who want a firm mattress. I can't stand reviews where people say "beds are comfortable" but don't tell you what the mattress is. Also there was a weird guy that asked me if I needed help taking my water bottle back to my room?! I walked off and didn't say anything to him. I think he just wanted money but he wasn't staying there. I never saw him again. He wasn't a threat to me because I'm the threat. Anyway somebody left their bag outside the whole entire night and day and it never disappeared. There is a creek that runs near the hotel and you can hear frogs all night long. I'm upset the windows don't open because I would have had those open so I can listen. Instead I had the door open a lot.We chose here to stay because it was in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. The owner was friendly and very nice.

Great place to stay. Quiet rooms, great parking. The staff was really nice and accommodating. This is by far the cleanest motel we've stayed in on our 7 day trip to Arkansas. I'd recommend it.
