Best Western River Terrace

All rooms at this hotel overlook a river. Absolutely beautiful. Each room has either a patio or a porch with 2 chairs and a table. I was so looking forward to sitting on my porch. The hotel is smoke free. HOWEVER one can smoke outside their room and we all know smoke rises. Which is what happened to us. Cigar smoke on top of it. That ruined my porch experience. I called the front desk and I am confident they asked the downstairs guests to stop smoking but they didn't. Aside from that our room was immaculate and well decorated. Bed was comfortable. Wi-fi connection not really great which frustrated hubby. There was a weird dripping noise in the bathroom but we couldn't tell where it was coming from. Sounded like it might have been coming from the ceiling light but no water leaked from the light. A little annoying. Breakfast was meager. We arrived 45 minutes after opening. I got the last piece of fruit and none was replenished while we were there. There was fresh oatmeal which was very nice. There was other food just not a lot of it. Almost seemed like it was being rationed. Or maybe the earlier people ate it all. All this being said we thought it was a very nice hotel and would stay again. I think we just got unlikely with the room we had. Unfortunately they were full so our room could not be changed. Maybe we'll have better luck next time. less

This room has a nice location as all the rooms face the river. The room was a good size, the showered a good water flow, the towels were large and plentiful and the bed comfortable. The room was very clean. Breakfast was a typical continental meal. The reason I gave a three was the room location. We were assigned two rooms on the bottom floor. The rooms were nice as they had a walk out to the river. The problem was that there is no elevator to the downstairs and although we all were healthy nearly 70 year olds, one had a back issue and this was not a good situation. There was no offer to help with the bags and the desk personnel were not the most helpful when giving directions. less

We will certainly stay here again. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were convenient and tasty. We enjoyed the little patio outside our room. Activities and events we were interested in were easily accessible. less

Really nice Best Western in downtown Cheboygan. Walking distance to downtown. Nice view of the river from my room. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Was a little pricey being Labor Day weekend. Otherwise, I'd stay here again. less

The BW River Terrace is a nice enough hotel for what it is. A basic, simple motel with modest accommodations and some rooms overlooking a river. But that view of the river comes with a hefty price tag for such modest accommodations. So be advised as to whether or not it's worth the price. Also, the site comes with some annoyances. Many of the prime parking spaces are reserved for boat trailers--whether they are needed or not. Consequently, parking can be a challenge if you want to park near your room entry. And speaking of room entry, if you are on the second floor rooms (as we were) you will need to drag your luggage up and down some stairs. Be prepared. Lastly, our room came with some quirks as well. The shower/toilet area in our room was extremely cramped, so be careful when closing the door lest you jam your toe (as I did). Moreover, the water pressure in the shower is relatively weak, and worst still the assembly connected the hot/cold piping backwards. At first, I thought there was no hot water in the shower, and only when I began to turn the faucet off did I notice hot water coming out. All that said, I wonder if the BW River Terrace is your best bet in Cheboygan. As we toured the area we found relatively few other options. Which, in turn, allows them to charge whatever they want. less
