I just spent two nights at the New River Inn, Sept. 8th & 9th, 2007. I also read the bad reviews that were on here and I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about staying there (a friend had booked the room for me). I even thought to myself after reading those first three that were negative, then the fourth one that was a "glowing review", that maybe a manager got on here and wrote that! (grin) I will have to say though that this was a really nice hotel and I would not hesitate to recommend the New River Inn to anyone and I would definately stay there again, and I think Im kinda picky!!! This hotel was equal to any Holiday Inn Express or Comfort Inn that I have stayed in. The room had a mini frig and microwave and yes it had HBO and free high speed internet! The staff was friendly and helpful as well. The breakfast is from 6:30am to 10am and you can not imagine the choices!!! Fruit, yogurt, bagels, danishes, biscuits & gravy, waffles, cereal (from a dispenser NOT a box), 3 kinds of juices, milk and coffee ( know I have left something out!). This "Continental Breakfast" was better than ANY I have ever seen. Yes, it is true they do not have shampoo or conditioner but bring your own, you would like that better anyway! There are only two things I could possibly say about this hotel that was a negative for me: 1. the walls are very thin and you can hear people walking in the halls and above you and, 2. the hallway smelled like smoke but at least my non-smoking room did not! This is definately worth trying and if you dont like the first night, you can always go to one of the other many hotels in the area. Enjoy!!!
