Helpful, polite staff; a clean room; and amenities such as free parking and wi-fi -- plus a pool and restaurant -- made this a nice stay. Less than a 10-minute walk from the convention centre where our event was, Riverside worked out well for us. The only thing that was difficult was that there were no sheer curtains, only black-out ones, and our room was right across from some apartments where people were out on their balconies. Thus, to have privacy, we had to be in a dark room. Overall though, great value for money!

There was nothing wrong with the room. I was not expecting a disabled/wheel chair friendly room. But that did not bother me. There was a little bit of noise from the Kids in the pool and people walking right past the glass door to the pool area was a little surprising. But that is just details. Stay was comfortable and easy. The TV aerial in my room had broken away from the wall - so that needs fixing. But it is easy to get around with good undercover parking. I will stay here again.

I was positively surprised and happy that both rooms I booked had a washing machine and dryer, plus a little kitchenette. We only stayed one night, but the breakfast service provided in the restaurant down stairs was very well presented and filling for the huge day we were having with basketball games from 11:00 AM to 8:15 PM that Sunday. Slept like a baby, clean rooms, clean bedding and towels.

The receptionist "Denny" was rude. He made it seem like we were inconveniencing him by booking a room using third party website; which was approved by the hotel. We paid for the superior room and was given a dirty tiny room with no discounted cost and only a couple of drink vouchers valued little to nothing. This experience alone has solidified that will never return to this establishment and will actively tell people to do the same. The only saving factor was the kind bar staff on during that night.
