The Spotlight on Best Western Riverside Inn

Relaxed Comfort Close to Macon's Music Scene

Modern yet cozy, the Best Western Riverside Inn offers a laid-back stay just a short drive from Macon’s most popular concert venues. Located on Riverside Drive, this hotel blends Southern hospitality with practical extras like free Wi-Fi, cable TV with HBO, and in-room coffee machines and refrigerators. Whether you're headed to a local music festival or catching a show downtown, you'll appreciate the comfort and convenience this hotel offers.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location—just 2 miles from downtown Macon—puts you within easy reach of live music venues, while still offering a quieter place to unwind afterward. On-site amenities like a late-night lounge with karaoke and a billiards table keep the vibes going post-show. Flexible check-in from 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM makes it easier to rest up after a long night. The seasonal outdoor pool is a bonus for those staying during warmer months.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun base with social spaces like the lounge and pool
  • Solo travelers heading to a bucket-list show who want safety and comfort
  • Couples making a weekend of it with easy access to downtown and cozy rooms
  • Fans seeking a quieter recovery spot post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate great value and free amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a solid free breakfast—perfect for a later start after a night out. The lounge serves drinks, and you’ll find several restaurants within walking or short driving distance, ideal for grabbing a bite before or after the show. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, in-room refrigerators allow you to stash snacks or leftovers.

Nightlife Options

The on-site lounge is a favorite among guests for its casual atmosphere, karaoke nights, and billiards. If you’re looking to keep the night going, nearby downtown Macon offers a variety of bars, clubs, and music joints just a short ride away.

What People Say

Guests often mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and great value for the price. The lounge is a hit for its fun vibe, and many appreciate the convenient location to major highways and music venues. The free breakfast and pool also get repeated praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the décor feels a bit dated, and the pool is only open seasonally. While it’s not a luxury hotel, most agree it delivers great comfort and value for the price.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, comfortable base close to Macon’s music action, the Best Western Riverside Inn hits all the right notes.

Good value, good nice sleep...

Liked: Breakfast was good with a lot of options. Staff was friendly. Nice pool area and green space. Bed was comfy, a/c was nice and cold. Good value overall.
Disliked: The lobby smelled like cigarettes. Apparently smoking is allowed on all but the first floor rooms. Our room was fine though, no smell of smoke.

Liked: Breakfast was good.
Disliked: Mold in our room with obvious signs on the ceiling and the wall. We were moved to another room but if this is not being checked, I have to wonder about what else is being missed.

Good

Liked: Breakfast was decent, and both check-in and check-out were quick and efficient.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the strong smell of cigarette smoke really spoiled my impression of this hotel.There was a very strong odor in the room where check-in and check-out take place, as well as in the hallways. It was quite unpleasant and unexpected.
