There are better alternatives in town
A hotel on the outside of the CBD with no direct pedestrian access other than a footpath down a grass embankment on the other side of a busy state highway. The room itself was not bad but there was a very odd overpowering odour which could suggest issues with plumbing. I don’t think I’ll book again

We have stayed at Riversidd Hotel a number of times and always found the staff helpful and the property clean. This time we were a little disappointed with the meals in the Sasa restaurant

Paper thin
The loft room was dated and had rust in thr bathroom.
The person showering in the next room at 11pm had music playing and i could hear everything as the walls are paper thin.
This woke the whole family up and carried on until after midnight.
