The staff at the reception is nice and cordial. The property is old but spacious. Our room is without view but close to the kitchen. There is a wonderful cafe house neighboring the hotel and in the morning it is full of customers and you can get a sense of community. Riverside boardwalk under the hotel building is an additional advantage to this property.

Hotel is on the river. Rooms probably in need of a refurb but are spacious & clean. We ate at the RSL which was a short walk away & meals were very good. Also a pub & cafe nearby. Hotel restaurant was closed during our stay. Would definitely stay again

Go for the river view.

Pretty nice hotel. Room was on the busy street side and was noisy. Upgrading to the river view would have been wise.
