Get a river view room and you will not be disappointed. I was also pleasantly surprised that the decor wasn't that dated. The store on site is a saviour as the food at the nearby (and only option) riverside restaurant was not good...

We got upgraded to a room with a spa and it’s been the best room. Bed is too firm for my back though. Great stay.

Decent hotel close to the park.

Decent hotel beds were a little hard. It’s older but I felt comfortable. Nice being next to the river. Handy little store near reception so we were able to save some money on food. Would prefer to stay there for the money rather than in the park. Can’t go past it really good nights sleep. Staff are friendly. Free wifi would have been good but for our short stay was able to entertain myself with cable tv anyway and nice not to be able to check emails as there is no phone reception either.
