Ah, the River View Inn and Suites in Somerset. Upon first glance, one could easily see the history this place might’ve once boasted. But the present? It’s a somber tale of wear and tear. The establishment is rather long in the tooth and desperately requires a facelift. Now, I’m all for character, but there’s a fine line between character and dilapidation. The odor permeating throughout the hallways is simply not what one expects when paying for a decent stay. And while I’m no stranger to a minimal breakfast, offering just old, bruised fruit is a missed opportunity to impress guests. I must say, the service was commendable given the circumstances, but the random assortment of objects like vacuum cleaners in the lobby? It gives off an unprofessional vibe. If you’re looking for value for money, I’m afraid this place might leave you with a bit of buyer’s remorse. It’s got potential, but it needs a significant overhaul to truly shine. 2 out of 5 stars.
