What guests think
Reviews describe Current River Inn as an older, vintage-style motor motel with clean, simple rooms and a well-liked outdoor pool, popular for trips to the Current River and convenient to local spots and highway access.
Many guests highlight friendly, accommodating owners and a familylike atmosphere. Rooms are small with vintage decor; bed comfort and in-room features vary, and several note tight bathrooms, limited storage or seating, and occasional issues with water pressure, hot water, light-blocking curtains, or noise. Dining is limited with no breakfast, and the on-site coffee shop’s availability appears inconsistent; a few reviewers also felt the stay was overpriced for what was provided. Expect a nostalgic, no-frills stay suited to river trips and short visits.

This motel is vintage and its so clean and updated and comfortable beds. The pool was nice it didn’t close as long as you did disturb guest. I have stayed several times in the past. Annual birthday's current river float trip.

Very friendly, helpful owners who like their guests! Comfortable bed, great heating, good TV-streaming selection, defrosted mini-fridge (!), clean microwave, surprisingly well-supplied/equipped for an older property. Pristine swimming pool with deck chairs, safe parking, quiet, convenient right off the highway, close to Current River activities. Convenient espresso coffee shop onsite.

First and foremost, this is an old, restored motor hotel. The owners have done a great job, but this is not a Hilton. (BTW, owners/managers were very nice). Rooms are very small. My room had two double beds, one chair and no table. Bathroom was tiny, but efficient. Good shower. Comfortable bed. They had a very nice outdoor pool which was being utilized when I arrived. The only complaints I have were the curtain in the room and the noise. The curtain was not good in filtering out light (and I'm not sure if people could see in the room or not). Being an old hotel, outside noise does filter in. I slept soundly, so it did not bother me. Apparently this is a destination spot (river access nearby). All in all, it was an enjoyable stay and I would book again if back in the area.

Room is in poor shape, rusty nails backing out of baseboards close enough to the bed that you can scrape your ankle/leg on them. Bed sits so high you have to have the steps provided, which are a trip/fall hazard in the middle of the night and my husband hit his foot on the legs of the bed several times during the night - they stick out past the bed. Bed is WAY too soft. Nowhere to hang clothes up and no iron/board. Toilet is so close to the tub that your legs are about an inch from touching the tub. ABSOLUTELY NO HOT WATER OR WATER PRESSURE. When I say no water pressure, I mean barely enough to rinse our tooth brushes, much less enough pressure to take a COLD shower. Our neighbor had the same complaints when they checked out this morning as well. The office was closed when we checked out around 6:15 am, so no coffee at all since the coffee shop is closed for the season and nobody to report issues to upon checkout. We will NOT be staying here again.

If you have a bad back, do not stay here. In my room the tub was lifted (there was a step to get in it). So if you are over 5’ tall you will not be able to wash your hair unless you do a back bend or bend over 45 degrees. Not sure what kind of bugs they are but I killed three. The bathroom wall by the toilet had a large hole in it.

The motel was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. And while we did not use the pool it looked very well maintained and clean. The TV in the room was fine, had a great picture. However, it is an old 60's style motel that has been somewhat updated. It has a window unit air conditioner that did cool the room just fine. A comfortable chair to sit on in the room would have been nice as well as a small shelf or something in the bathroom to put your toiletries on. The main negative and the reason why we would not stay here again was the bed. Someone had commented on one of the reviews that it was like sleeping on box springs and that pretty well describes it. When you sat down you actually bounced. The bedding was fine and the pillows were comfortable but not the bed. Maybe it was just our room. In conclusion it is fine for a night or two but if you're staying longer look somewhere else.

Motel typical of the 1950's to 1970's single level C-shaped motel with 26 rooms. Furniture and room were dated. Shower head hit me in the chest. Definitely made with little people in mind. I travel a lot and this is easily a $60 a night room, definitely not $93 a night. Would not stay again.

False advertising - the 2 beds room we got is not like the one pictured. It was very small, like the king you see with another bed crammed in the corner by the window. No restaurant or cafe like advertised either. Very disappointing.

The office was closed when we checked out around 6:15 am, so no coffee at all since the coffee shop is closed for the season and nobody to report issues to upon checkout. We will NOT be staying here again.

This motel was great. This is our second time to stay there and we have enjoyed both time. It is our halfway point to visiting our daughter and her family. It is walking distance to the Current River.

Very friendly, helpful owners who like their guests! Comfortable bed, great heating, good TV-streaming selection, defrosted mini-fridge (!), clean microwave, surprisingly well-supplied/equipped for an older property. Pristine swimming pool with deck chairs, safe parking, quiet, convenient right off the highway, close to Current River activities. Convenient espresso coffee shop onsite.

So convenient for us since we were paddling the Current River. Loved the old-time charm but with update amenities. Safe and walkable area.

The property is very old and run down. The bed is so high you need a ladder to get in it comfortably the bathroom is so small you have to squeeze in past the sink. No breakfast is served There is a nice outdoor pool for when the weather is right..

One of the few inns in the area, this stop has become one that I frequent on business trips. The rooms are super comfortable, and the price is within my allowed traveling budget. Beds have well enough sheets to keep a soul from freezing in the night which is more than I can say for most of the other hotels I frequent with similar price ranges. Staff is very friendly. They don’t offer a breakfast, which isn’t really a big deal for me since my company will take care of that somewhere else, but something travelers should be aware of. Would recommend.

The hotel was a cozy little 24 room hotel. The rooms were super clean and temperature was great. The bed could have used a little help but I've stayed in nicer hotels with horrible beds. There was a cute little coffee shop on the property with the best coffee I've had. Will definitely be returning in the future.

False advertising - the 2 beds room we got is not like the one pictured. It was very small, like the king you see with another bed crammed in the corner by the window. No restaurant or cafe like advertised either. Very disappointing.

Room is in poor shape, rusty nails backing out of baseboards close enough to the bed that you can scrape your ankle/leg on them. Bed sits so high you have to have the steps provided, which are a trip/fall hazard in the middle of the night and my husband hit his foot on the legs of the bed several times during the night - they stick out past the bed. Bed is WAY too soft. Nowhere to hang clothes up and no iron/board. Toilet is so close to the tub that your legs are about an inch from touching the tub. ABSOLUTELY NO HOT WATER OR WATER PRESSURE. When I say no water pressure, I mean barely enough to rinse our tooth brushes, much less enough pressure to take a COLD shower. Our neighbor had the same complaints when they checked out this morning as well. The office was closed when we checked out around 6:15 am, so no coffee at all since the coffee shop is closed for the season and nobody to report issues to upon checkout. We will NOT be staying here again.

Love this quaint little one story horseshoe style motel. Check in was quick & easy, owner was very accommodating. The room was nice, cool, clean & well stocked. We got a king room, it was vey cramped! the bed was way too tall a 2 step stool ( provided ) to get in & out which proved challenging for night trips to the bathroom, & there was no room for a table & chair. Being a smoker I did appreciate having a table & chair as well as ashtray bucket, which you very seldom find. It was nice & quiet in the evening as well.Would definitely reccomend for short stays.
