So this review is from my limited perspective as a wedding attender, but I am really happy with the…read morechanges Cliffbreakers has made. I came here quite a bit in high school (many years ago) for various events like homecoming and weddings and it was decent, but always had an old feel or seemed out of touch. It was also way too dark. Fast forward to today and you can tell they've poured so much time, attention, and money into renovating this to be a modern, classy, and really fun place to be. I was actually really pleasantly surprised walking in the door for the first time in 10+ years and seeing a beautiful ballroom complete with modern luxurious chandeliers, a beautiful dark wooden dance floor, and a modern bar and wooden accents around the room. The food was freaking delicious (I personally had the pork tenderloins and they were fantastic, served with some of the most flavorful zucchini I've ever had) and also had great presentation. The drinks were great, and from the limited interaction I had with staff, they seemed friendly and helpful. All in all, I'm really excited to see the positive changes made here! Super impressed and would definitely come back again!

Disregard the reviews older than 2018 as they just completed a multi-million dollar renovation after being added to the Ascend group of hotels. My suite had been completely redone top to bottom including new plumbing fixtures, heat, furniture as well as floors and walls. The staff for our event were superb. I normally don't bother to write reviews but in this case I decided to take the time to thank them for helping make our event go smoothly for the weekend. SW

Worst customer service I have ever had at a coffee shop. Rude woman works there. Any question I had…read morewas met with attitude. When they were out of half their menu, I decided not to eat there and just sit with my husband who ordered a coffee. She came to our table to lecture us on why we had said we were getting a sandwich then changed our minds. Blamed us for starting to make sandwiches we never officially ordered or payed for (my husband is allergic to pork, and they were out of alternatives so we decided against it). What kind of customer service is that?

Just as well since the table i sit at is so wobbly i couldn't set down a drink and certainly couldn't work at it. As the coffee order is delivered to the person i am meeting, the waitress again does not say a word. Maybe they just don't want to wake the only othe people in there, one sleeping at a table and another on the couch.

We stayed at the Riverview from 12/29/25 to 1/1/26. We had a wonderful time in one of the…read moretwo-level suites. The night manager, Yvette, was beyond awesome! She was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond when we asked for a New Year's Eve party recommendation. She also gave us the printed Riverview Art Walk pamphlet (the outlined history of architectural pieces is not to be missed, although the Al Capone bar is not yet listed and no mention was made of the fabulous ships-in-bottles) and provided us with a tour of the Sultan room with it's magnificent antiques. Our suite was clean and well appointed. I did check the sheets and mattress and found none of the issues mentioned in previous reviews. Paint seemed fresh and Yvette mentioned that new carpets are to be installed in 2026. It seems that the current owners are attempting to revitalize the hotel and event center. We also enjoyed our river view room. Although we could see the train tracks, they did not appear to be in use and we were never bothered by noise. The view provided a good vantage for New Year's Eve fireworks - which may or may not have been publicly sanctioned. The adjacent mall is still under-occupied but we didn't sense any obvious criminal activity and our car was just fine in the parking lot. We had a good time here and would recommend.
