Pros:

Stayed on the second floor ( was upgraded for free ) the room was spacious and.clean , we had a view of the river which was nice but the traffic was noisy ) the bed was comfortable . Location was practical for Riverside and sightseeing activities.

Cons:

For some reason I thought there was a pool but there was not .To be expected the traffic was noisy but easily remedied by the use of earplugs .

Great to stay when the price is on promtion
Cons:

Unexpected instruding. We went out for lunch & not yet leaving hotel as our luggages were still at hotel. The assistant staff instruded us at our lunch break which was next to hotel & simply asking for a 2 water bottles payment. We politely paid & gave him a tip as well. To be fair he did give a reason to do so as the reception needs to close the room account. Still we don't think they should risk their reputation to instrude customer outside of hotel at our lunch break. I hope they show more curtesy to customer.

Faded grandeur, still good value
Pros:

If you have a weak spot for hotels whose dark wood, high ceilings, faded carpets, dated aesthetic, and random statuary evoke a bygone era, you'll enjoy the Riverside. Excellent location, clean rooms (though my shower curtain was a bit spotty), solid breakfast. Great views of the river from most floors and the rooftop bar. My room was bizarrely huge (two rooms, really), and price couldn't be beat, especially as it turned out I was there when they were celebrating the renaming of the city.

Cons:

Bathroom had no place to put toiletries (I used the back of the toilet), and shower was a hand-held in a non-adjustable mount that basically sprayed straight out from the wall. Hot water tap on sink was dangerously hot.

Convenient location.
Pros:

Location was very central, close to all the attractions we were visiting (within walking distance). The rooms were spacious and clean.

Cons:

As the corridor leading to our rooms were not enclosed, flying insects (including mosquitoes) kept entering our rooms every time the door was opened.

Pros:

Free upgrade to larger room with riverside balcony.

Cons:

The views were construction cranes and not nice. At night a 100' wide TV screen with advertising ruins the atmosphere. I will not request a river view in the future.
