Check-In Procedures
Check-in at Riverboat Suites can be either contactless via our digital door locks or more conventionally by stopping at our Hotel office and meeting with our General Manager, Nate. We want your experience from start to finish to be what you need and what makes you comfortable.
Guests are always welcome to stop at the front desk during normal business hours to speak with Nate or one of his Assistants. They are very knowledgeable about the area, happy to provide food and experiential recommendations and always willing to assist with luggage transport (as we don’t have any elevators on site).
In each room, there is a detailed guest binder that explains how to access our WiFi access, outlines our room amenities, details our breakfast hours and gives a nice introduction to the property and the area as well.
Digital Doorlocks
With our new digital door locks, guests no longer need a key. This dramatically improves guest security and makes it easier for guests to come and go. The digital code for each room is automatically generated by our reservation system and changes after each guest. The four digit code (typically the last four digits of a guest’s cellphone number plus the unlock button) works from check-in time (3:00) on the day of arrival until check-out time (11:00) on the day of departure.
