We were given directions to this motel by another motel that was fully booked and they recommended it . We were also warned not to confuse this motel with a simlar sounding name... More

The reply was full of lies.This is not good on the part of the owners.The Motel is close to everything... More

We were pleased with the Riverside Motel.Our unit had a separate bedroom, as well as a queen bed in the lounge. The kitchen was pretty well set up although we didn't cook. A coffee plunger with coffee was available.... More

Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with well appointed kitchens, so we could eat in. No traffic noise despite location on a busy street. Yes it has dated decor and fixtures - but all as clean a as whistle and all worked as they should - so no complaints there! Great value for money.

It was also an easy walk into the city centre and its associated attractions. I was travelling with my elderly mother and was delighted to find it was built... More
