OK in an emergecy
Pros:

Check in / out staff - A1

Cons:

Utter lack of housekeeping. :":green housekeeping"means they can't even make the bed?? No, it means that they don't pay people. Not good. Won't be back unless I really have to.
Breakfast was very heavy on fried sruff, but in Scotland you have to expect that

Relaxing overnight stay with breakfast
Pros:

Overnight stay with breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. Ample parking, lovely friendly welcome and clean comfortable room. The hotel was fully booked with several coach parties but didn’t feel busy or noisy. We visited the nearby Odeon and retail park and spotted the Bejing Banquet buffet so had our meal there. The buffet breakfast was very good, we went a bit later to avoid the coach party times and found breakfast to be a relaxed , enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend and would visit again if in the area.

First time at Riverside
Pros:

First stay at Riverside...normally stay at The Piersland or The Carlton but we found a good deal and decided to stay. Friendly checkin ..room on top floor..lounge/bar area nice and modern. Dinner was fine (2 excellent steak pies) Husband's tempura was sent back because cold and hard ..replacement better.👍 But waited ages for meal and ended up not bothering with a sweet! Room was fine (nice bottle of wine included) and clean as was bathroom except for few bad diy repairs and basic shower. Bed was very firm and we were wakened at 5.30 by doors banging shut when folks left the room.😤 Breakfast was tasty. Buffet constantly replenished. Late checkout. We enjoyed our stay though and might stay again if deal..and ask for softer mattress. Thanks to staff.
