I really enjoyed my stay at the Riverbank Park Motel. The location was perfect, just a short walk to town and right by the river, which provided a lovely view. My room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, although I did notice some light issues in the bathroom that made it tough to sleep in. The amenities were decent, but the pool could use a little sprucing up and I had to get the WiFi password from reception, which could be more convenient.

The facilities were good. The pool was operational, though it needed a bit of tidying up to be more appealing. Also, there was no undercover parking for motorbikes.

I had an overall pleasant stay at the motel, enjoying its prime location right by the river. The room was comfortable, though it showed some signs of wear and could use a bit of maintenance. The friendliness of the staff was a highlight, but the cleanliness could have been better.

Location-wise, it couldn't be better. Overlooking the river and just a short walk into town made exploring easy. I loved being able to enjoy the outside area by the river, but I noticed some maintenance could enhance the scenery further.

Dining options were quite limited with no food available on-site at night. It was a bit disappointing, especially since walking to nearby restaurants took some time. However, the breakfast was satisfactory and the grab-and-go option was convenient.

The facilities were decent, featuring outdoor seating by the river. I appreciated the communal BBQ area, though certain aspects could be spruced up. On the whole, the setup had potential, but some areas looked a bit worn.

My stay at Riverbank Park Motel was quite pleasant overall, with a fantastic location by the river and only a short walk to the main shopping area. The room was clean and comfortable, but I did find it a bit small for my liking. While my experience was mostly positive, the air conditioning was loud and a bit of an issue during my stay.

The motel offered a good array of amenities, though I would have liked a bit more bench space in the room to prepare food. It was a nice touch that they provided a welcome drink.

My stay at Riverbank Park Motel was enjoyable overall, with a great location and clean rooms, though there were a couple of minor drawbacks worth noting. The room was spacious and comfortable, while the bathroom needed better light control. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the positive experience despite the cleanliness issue in some areas of the hotel.

The family room I stayed in was spacious, featuring a queen bed, two single beds, and a lovely view of the gardens and river. It was warm, clean, and had all the basic amenities I needed. However, the issue with light spilling into the bathroom could be a concern for light-sensitive sleepers.
Service

The check-in staff were incredibly welcoming and eager to assist with any questions I had. This friendly service throughout made the experience more pleasant. However, there was a slight mix-up with my room booking, which I had to accept without any alternative.

The location is excellent, just a short walk from town along the river or Main Street. It's peaceful, surrounded by nature, yet close enough to access shopping and dining easily. I appreciated the quiet ambiance away from traffic noise.

The grounds were well-kept, featuring a garden area with barbecue facilities and a shaded spot to relax, overlooking the river. However, the pool could use a little sprucing up to enhance its appeal, as it appeared cluttered during my stay.
