What guests think

At Riviera on Ruthven, travellers consistently highlight clean, good‑value accommodation and a convenient location, while feedback on staff ranges from warm and welcoming to occasionally unfriendly, and the property shows its age in places despite ongoing improvements.

Many guests find the rooms comfortable and sometimes spacious, including executive units with kitchenettes, but some report traffic or car‑park noise, firm beds, limited bedside power points, and showers over baths or variable water pressure in certain bathrooms. The included continental breakfast is widely enjoyed for simple variety and homemade touches, though a few mention basic offerings, slow restocking, limited seating, or timing that doesn’t suit early departures. Overall, expect a straightforward, well‑kept motel that delivers strong value and convenience.

We stayed in one of the Riviera’s executive units. The unit had a combined living, dining, lounge and kitchenette area with a decent-sized flat screen TV and a nice sofa and coffee table. The separate bedroom had a king-size bed which was extremely comfortable and a second smaller TV. The bathroom was clean and serviceable. There was undercover car parking adjacent to the front door. Included in the quite reasonable tariff was a continental breakfast - cereal, toast with a range of condiments, and brewed coffee and tea. Not the Ritz, but good enough to start the day! The accommodation is rated 3.5 stars. We will come again.

We stayed in a one bedroom unit. It was excellent value for money. It had a separate living area, complete with kitchen facilities. The king size bed and daily continental breakfast were added bonuses. It also had a washing machine and dryer that was shared between two units. This was very convenient especially when travelling. The motel was conveniently located and although on a busy road, inside the unit was quiet. The only drawback was that the shower was over the bath, something to be aware of, if you have mobility issues.

We had a room right at the front of the property and could hear the road noise all night. Feedback has been provided directly to the owner in regards to some areas of improvement - hopefully they take the feedback on board. The main feedback was to erect a fence at the front of the property to minimise road noise, replace the ceiling fans and the bedside lamps - which stay dimly lit all night.

A great location to access town. The room was clean, spacious with everything we needed including a good shower and a nice couch in the room. The breakfast had some lovely touches: freshly cut variety of fruits, freshly made Birchers muesli, a great selection of home made jams and filtered coffee. Initial impressions by a gentleman at check in were not so friendly, but this was countered by the friendliness and courteousness of all the staff on the following days. Would stay again.
