Lovely supportive staff. Good breakfast. Very happy with room. Communal areas in floor 4 need work. Heavily stained carpet. Looks like there’s been a flood or big spills without the carpet being cleaned or changed.

Rival was ridiculously good

The staff at Rival are the BEST. Friendly, professional and very attentive. The hotel is centrally located and perfectly appointed. Breakfast was delicious. The Bistro was the only let down, both service and food were a little disappointing. We upgraded to a suite and it was fantastic. Spacious and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rival. Shout out to ALL at reception- Michelle, Joel were standouts.
