One night stay
Good stay. Comfortable bed. The only thing. We didn't get a spot to park in front of the room because there were always too many cars
Nightcap at Riverside is an older property and looks a bit like it from the outside but inside the rooms have been done up and the bathrooms are really great
The room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the staff were nice. We had a lack of sleep due to barking dogs and drunken patrons arguing outside our room each night.Also parking was at a premium. Could not park near our room. It's a case of first in best dressed.
Room was fine and no issues with our stay. But I was shocked to find the check in desk was literally squeezed in between the (crowded) bar and the gaming area. I was glad my son didn’t accompany me in as I didn’t feel it was family friendly at all. Very odd set up. Poker machines just a metre away from where I was getting my room key. The lights and noise were off putting. But the one night we had there was fine apart from a bit of highway noise.

Parking is limited close to the room unless you are there early. We had to park our car a little distance away which we weren't happy about.
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with everything you could need.
Insufficient parking for hotel guests due to a packed dinning area. We had to park our car a distance away from our room and move it next morning to pack car on checkout. Check service was not particularly friendly, however bar staff were great.

Should have a grab rail in the shower, possibly one even on the side of the toilet.
Otherwise, was very clean, comfortable and with all the expectations of a hotel room.
