Staff went out of their way to make my parents room available before check in as my father was not well and we had just drive 17 hours. So kind and considerate and understanding.

I arrived at the hotel around 5pm. My room was not ready and I had to wait. Finally I settled for a room without the balcony and view. We've stayed at River Terrace for 3 years, but this will be my last year. We were not discounted for the downgrade.
