Nice comfortable stay. Room was a little cold though. The shower water was discoloured so had to run it for a while before it ran clear. Bit noisy during the night with latecomers. Good breakfast, discounted 24hr parking across the road.

My stay at the holiday in riverside

The hotel was exceptionally clean. The breakfast was lovely and the bed was really comfy ..the only issue I have is the heating system in the room. It was blowing cold air all night. Couldn't get it warm. . tried to do what It says to do. But still couldn't get warm air to come out. A sheltered smoking area should be made in all hotels rather than have us stand out at the front of hotel ..
King-size bed was massive
