Pros: I liked that it is easy access and close to the airport. The property itself is pretty. It has its own parking lot. The view from the room is beautiful, towards the River. The rooms are very spacious. And the fact that it has air conditioner is a huge plus. Also, there is cold and hot water which is really good. I did not go to the pool but I saw it and it looks very inviting. It has a changing area, a restroom and tables. I enjoyed my stay there and will definitely come back here.Cons: There’s the hotel and that’s it. There are no stores or restaurants walking distance. There are several though within driving distance. You can use a taxi service but the receptionist did not recommend it for safety issues. The shower and toilet are in the same room. The hotel restaurant closed early since there was only one other guest (although the lady made an exception and cooked some french fries for us, which was nice of her.) The beds are spacious (king/full and twin) but the sheets are a little hard and the pillows high.Overall, we did enjoy the hotel for the money paid. I would definitely come back.

This hotel is reasonably close to the Tuxtla Gutierrez airport, affordable, clean and generally comfortable. Following my usual review pattern, here are the Good, the Bad and the Ugly: 

The Good:  I have 3 high priorities, and this hotel checked all 3 boxes. It didn't smell bad. It had comfortable sheets. It had a mini-split A/C that worked well enough to keep the room a nice temperature. The room was clean, the water hot, the wifi free, and the mattress comfortable (not something I can always say about Mexican hotels). 

The Bad: In our room, there was a window at the top of the shower that shown a bright green light into the room. Although I put a towel over the door, it still lit up the room enough to interfere with getting to sleep. Thankfully, the management turned off the colored lights outside the patio-side, otherwise it would've felt like trying to sleep at the circus! 

The Ugly:  Although the sheets and mattress were comfortable, there were no true bed pillows. For our king-sized bed, there were three small, very firm pillows with covers matching the bedspread. They were not good pillows for sleeping, but the worst part was the scratchy covers. I realized the next morning that our traveling companions DID have bed pillows with appropriate pillowcases though. So if we ever return to River Side Hotel, I will definitely make sure to ask for proper bed pillows. 

Overall, our stay was really pretty good! The scratchy pillows were really the only bad thing, and next time I'll know to ask and not just assume that none would be available.

When flying out of Tuxtla

It was central to both Tuxtla and Chiapa de corzo other than that not a lot of positive about this place.

Expedia advertises breakfast and dining available but not so. Proprietor provided coffee when requested.  Property on highway  with very limited view of river. Public transport readily available

Looks like cars drive through your room i left without staying. IT is 600meters grom  the boat but you have tot walk along the highway

Noise, hotel along highway

We stayed one night,  The room was clean and the bed was good.  We went on the boat ride  through the  canyon, so it was a great place to stay.  And close to the airport.    The pool was nice to enjoy after the boat ride.  We  had dinner at their reatruant but  there was only a few options on their menu to choose from.  What we had was good ,the guacamole was great.   We would stay there again.

Convenient Hotel

We booked 2 nights and the location was perfect, walking distance from the pier if you decide to take a boat ride on the Canon. Beautiful view from the room, good value.

Nice Stay

We didn't have a nice impression of River Side because we arrived there late in the night with a huge storm, and there was no light in the whole building. A couple of guys came to pick up us with some lamps, then we spent the night in a big room with a very nice bathroom. Anyway the room was clean and air conditioned. Only in the morning we could have a sight of the fantastic view of our room on the Valley of Sumidero (not really on the canyon).

Nice terrace for having breakfast with fantastic view.
Very good place to stay to plan the visit at Canyon de Sumidero, instead of sleeping in Chapa de Corzo.
