Fyi this is a very noisy location on the corner of what seems like the busiest intersection in town, next to the liquor store and the Tim Hortons guaranteeing late night and early morning traffic outside your windows. Do you like awaking to natural light like me? Well no such luck here as there are 5 bright street lights shining in your windows all night so it's bright as high noon all night. It's very disorienting because the bright light shines all around the curtains so you can't tell if it's day or night. On a more personal note, my husband and I attempted to enjoy a glass of wine during sunset in the unoccupied area of the hotel property patio. This part of the patio is fenced off from the other patio areas, is obviously unused and covered in cobwebs, so imagine our surprise when Julie from Riverside Inn Pub harassed us about breaking your unwritten rules regarding alcohol consumption and ordered us to dump our wine out, and then had the nerve to advise that we purchase new drinks from your bar. The only listed rule states no drinking alcohol in the lobby, (picture of Riverside's own sign included) but Julie repeatedly insisted no open containers were allowed thru the lobby or on the patio, except what was bought from her and acted like we should have known that. Overall horrible experience, rude staff, loud location, difficult to sleep with the noise and light issues, topped off with an emergency vehicle driving by with full sirens at 6am.

Wouldn't stay there again.
The room was small, but clean. Surprisingly there was no drawers to unpack your clothes. There were hangers but that's it. We lived out of our suitcases for 4 days. There was room for a dresser. It's not handicapped accessible. The rooms are upstairs with no elevator. I usually use a cane or walker. My husband and I are 75 and 73, carrying our luggage up a flight of stairs. If you're in a wheelchair, this place isn't for you. Now the good. It was great having a cafe and pub attached. After long days we ate and had cocktails in the evenings. The staff there were attentive and friendly.

We were pleased with the early checkin provided, and the condition of our room. However, at 10pm we learned we were placed above the pub. Country music suddenly blasted from 10pm til 1am, it was extremely loud in our room. There is no one at front desk after 5 and no one answers phones (either from room or calling the facility) so nothing we could do but listen to partiers and blasting music til they were done. We aren’t fussy people and don’t expect a lot, but sleep is something we anticipate at a hotel. In case you do decide to stay, don’t bother with the restaurant attached.

Clean, quiet, great parking. Dinning on site. Only downside is the street light was directly In front of our room and sort of gave a glow that made you think it was morning. I’m sure not every room has that issue. Great stay
