not good at all.
Pros: Not much Cons: We have been staying at Riverside for many years. The pillows are terrible. We asked for an ironing board 3 times. we were even willing to fetch it ourselves. Overall stay was not as before.

I wont stay again and will not recommend this hotel.
Pros: The beds were comfy and warm and the shower was hot with good pressure. Room was pretty but not the cleanest Cons: The rooms were not spotless. Corners were not cleaned. Showers had mold and missing tiles. Curtains were ripped Room 410. The hotel had a very stale smell. Was just not fresh. And the paintwork etc. was bad...walls outside the lifts were dirty. I also wanted to get food at around 11:20 and was told i would have to wait an hour.
