So, we came back to our room after a long day, and the door was wide open! Lights were on, and it felt super unsafe. Plus, the cleanliness was questionable-bins and fridge were still messy. Definitely not cool.

The staff were good and provided helpful service. The room was nice and absolutely stunning in general, with the best view. A mini-fridge and a balcony were there too.
The staff we met were not very friendly.

The warmth and hospitality of Lisa and her staff made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our spacious room offered amazing views of the river and was equipped with comfortable seating and a lovely balcony. The imaginative menu and delicious home-cooked meals were highlights, paired perfectly with excellent local wines. The convenient location, just a short stroll from the town center and train station, made exploring effortless.
Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

I had a great stay here! The location was super convenient, just a short walk to the town center and all the cozy restaurants. Plus, my room was spacious and clean, with a lovely view of the river. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home. Definitely a relaxing spot to unwind after a busy day exploring!
That said, there were a few downsides. The bathroom could use some updates, and the WiFi was hit or miss in my room. the parking area felt a bit tight for larger vehicles. Just a few small things to consider!

We had a wonderful stay at the Waterfront Motel with our 6-month-old baby. The room was immaculate and spacious, with a lovely spa bath that added a touch of relaxation. The location was perfect for walking to nearby attractions like the Marlborough Farmers' Market and Seymour Square. While there were a few noise issues from a nearby pub, the overall comfort and dog-friendly vibe made our stay enjoyable. We’ll definitely return!

we had an incredible stay with a stunning view overlooking the river and mountains. the room was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy for us to cook fresh meals. we particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed, which allowed for restful nights despite the central location. the friendly and helpful staff, especially Lisa at reception, truly made us feel welcomed and at home during our visit.
All was perfect! 😊.

Had a very comfortable stay for 1 night. the most accommodating and outstandingly accommodating staff I ever met. - Very central location not far from the Bus Station as well as the center of town. - An arts theater was 20 minutes walk from the hotel.

What a gem of a place! This hotel is so conveniently located along the river and just a short stroll to the town center. the views from the rooms are breathtaking, especially from the balconies, where you can kick back and enjoy your morning coffee. the staff were incredibly welcoming, going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. I really appreciated the little touches like the free airport shuttle and the quick laundry service.
There were a couple of areas that could use a little love. the cleaning could be more thorough;

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. the location of the hotel was great - it was close to the main shopping area and there were plenty of food options nearby. We also loved the beautiful views from our room.
There were a couple of issues that we encountered during our stay. the electric jug in our room was really confusing to use.

The room and bathroom were enormous! We had a huge and comfortable bed, made for a great night's sleep. The balcony had a beautiful view of the river, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The sunlight kept the room warm and cozy, eliminating the need for a heater. a very comfortable stay.
