We found the place on the Internet and emailed a few questions which were accurately answered and very helpful.
I'm surprised to see some of the negative comments on previous posts. It's a budget hotel but it has a high level of facilities - Free Internet, Free breakfast, computer, printer, fax, also free parking. I've paid nearly as much to park my car in some places as I have for my whole stay at Kingsford Riverside Inn. This place is serious value for money and it's comfortable and pleasant as well.
The hotel is well maintained. Fresh paintwork, clean carpets and the toilets are immaculate.
The managers Olinda and Joe are lovely people and are obviously proud of the place and enjoy dealing with people.
We haven't found as nice a place to stay in a very long time and it's hard to believe you can stay in a hotel on the riverbank in a Capital City at such a good price.
We'll be back!



He did however find us a room on the second floor instead of the third floor as I was on crutches...although that wouldn't have been required if there had been a lift. The furnishings are tired and worn paint chipped everywhere...the carpets stained and stink of deodoriser. The air conditioner was filthy. No toilet or shower in the room. Not even a microwave. No bedside table...had to put my coffee on the floor beside the bed to drink it in bed. Private balcony gave a lovely view of the BP service station and the rally driving idiots on Kingsford-Smith drive who kept us awake most of the night with the noise and lights that the inadequate curtains didn't block out. Not enough parking and none is safe or secure. No soap in the communal bathroom. Not even a dispenser for washing your hands. So had to take soap with me to the toilet. No shampoo or conditioner in the room either. No microwave in the room. A communal area I guess would have all of the cooking requirements but I couldn't even find that room. Their disclaimer that it is pet friendly and the only one that offers this is not true. Airways Motel at Ascot is closer to the airport and is pet friendly also and was better equipped with nice staff and the rooms were cheaper and it has a pool. It's basically false advertising as the rooms look very nice online but that certainly wasn't our experience. We will never stay here again and I don't understand how they can call it budget when I could book the Mercure for $175 for the night and this was $160. Boy do I wish we had stayed at the Mercure. Do yourself a favour and run don't walk away from this place...it's a dump!

Arrived, greeted by a very rude man. Was shown the room and ended up leaving in under 5 minutes.
If you want a view of your partner going for a dump from the bed, it would be perfect. I have never seen anything like it. There was a small shower curtain to block the view. There were also dead cockroaches on the floor on arrival.
When we let the man know we were not staying he was extremely rude (we let him know politely that the room was not for us and weren't asking for a refund).
I am not one to leave negative feedback but I strongly advise people to avoid this place - I was absolutely mortified.
We ended up finding a beautiful pet friendly place up the road.

On the plus side, the room was clean and beds comfy,
It was on the corner of a busy street so very noisy.
