Our Happy Stay at Riverside Sun
The staff was friendly and helpful from the beginning of our stay right to the end. The facilities and rooms were clean. The food and service was of good standard. We enjoyed ourselves very much and would return again. The only negative is that there are not carports/shade in the parking, the cars get scortched by the sun and may be damaged in case of severe hailstorm.

Not what we expected
Our shower had a horrible sewer smell and it took my fiancée 30 minutes to check-in because they couldn’t confirm that we paid a day earlier - which we did. How does it take so long to confirm an electronic payment?
