River Hotel of Southport

A near new hotel property in perfect condition. Everything new and shiny. Great beds. End of building faces the Cape Fear river, but the rooms dont have any real views. Nice Swimming pool on property, and direct access to river beach. Only a short walk into the delightful historic town streets of Southport. They had a band playing next to the pool 4-6 pm, and often have food truck on site also. Ideally set up for longer holiday stays, with family size fridges and kitchens - although the only cooking appliance is the microwave, which is a bit odd. A delightful holiday hotel.

Love this place for a small get away with the family. Will stay again for sure :)

The River Hotel was the perfect place for a weekend getaway with our little family. The room was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. The pool and beach area were quiet and private. The staff was great! Very convenient to downtown.

Amazing. The room was super clean, very comfortable bed and pillows, and the staff was friendly. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

This was an interesting property as it is not really a hotel..it is more like renting a condo with maid service. The office is a small building located at the entrance of the property and is manned approx. 16 hours out of the day. The rooms are set up like an extended stay hotel and have all the appliances you need to for a cook a meal, toast a bagel or freeze a fish. The location has one building with approx. 10 units on each floor (two floors) stay on the top floor and ask for a unit close to the pool or Cape Fear River aka better views. A second building is being constructed on the property so there might be some construction activity. The property has a large deck for something -maybe for future use and a nice little pool with a gazebo and a small beach near by. I saw a sign on the beach "beware of alligators" so keep one-eye open when you nap. The location is about a 10 minute walk to the center of South Port. The city is quaint and has some decent restaurants but due to covid-19 there are limitations on availability. The closest beach is Oak Island, which is a gem and is very family friendly. All and all not a bad trip or place to stay.
