Just ok breakfast . Everyone there was very friendly

Bathroom needs adult shower rail . Also a small seating chair. Breakfast fine . Decking very nice.

The facility was super clean and the staff was amazing. The views of the Ohio river were awesome too.

We were visiting Madison for its historical importance and I feel that the Riverboat Inn fits right in with this genre. The buildings are older with concrete stairs leading to the second floor. The room was simply decorated but it was very clean. Even though we didn't get a view of the river, we could go on the deck off the lounge area and enjoy the view. The breakfast was simple grab and go, but it was adequate.

Love the Ohio River location. River view from our room. Live music in the evening. Giant deck sprawling all over the hillside with the river view. We will return many times!

The new entrepreneurial owners of Riverboat Inn seem to understand what visitors to the historic and charming town of Madison want. Great views of the Ohio River, lovely walking paths, friendly and accommodating staff, and affordability. A refreshing change from the "chain" motels.

We love staying here! It’s our choice hotel in Madison! We love the cute decor, cleanliness, friendly staff, and all the scenery!
