Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Motel Riverbend on 9 Oct 2023
I am sorry but also surprised that this was the case Nadene, as all of our rooms are non-smoking. Maybe the window was left open and someone was smoking outside or perhaps there was smoke on your clothes? Nevertheless, I hope you found the room comfortable and that your son enjoyed his basketball carnival.
