I used the Rockhampton Riverside Central Hotel in Rockhampton for two days and one night on the way back from a road trip to Brisbane that I went out with my son for school holidays. The Rockhampton Riverside Central Hotel is located on the north side of Rockhampton CBD, under the Neville Hewitt Bridge over the Fitzroy River. On the day of our stay, it took an unexpectedly long time to travel about 540km from the Sunshine Coast, so we finally arrived a little before 7pm. I made a reservation in advance from a certain hotel reservation site, so I was able to check in smoothly. Reception is not open 24 hours, so it is advisable to contact the hotel in advance if you are arriving at night or are likely to arrive late. Parking on the first floor of the building is free during your stay and no reservation is required. There is no elevator in the building, and the guest room floors are accessed by stairs from the parking lot. The building is over 40 years old, so the oldness was conspicuous throughout the building. The room I used this time is a Suite with a double bed. The 28m2 room was spacious and comfortable enough for two people. The bathroom seemed to have been recently renovated, and the shower booth and washbasin were new and clean. There was soap scum on the sink and a woman's long hair on the bathroom floor, so it seemed that it had not been cleaned very carefully. The guest rooms are equipped with microwave ovens and refrigerators, as well as electric kettles, toasters, and tableware, which are useful when bringing in food. Coffee/tea and mentos were also provided in the room. Bar soap, mini-tube shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided as toiletries, but there are no razors or toothbrushes. Free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms. The connection was stable and the communication speed was fast, so I didn't feel stressed even when watching videos on TV. There aren't many restaurants around the hotel, but there are cafes and restaurants scattered around the city center. The distance between the hotel and the city center is only about 1 km, and it takes only about 15 minutes on foot. From Monday to Friday only, if you sign up at reception before 6pm, you can order fish and chips, steak and more from room service. Check out time is 10am. From about 9:30 am, the hallway became noisy. When I was packing my luggage for departure, I was very surprised when the hotel staff suddenly opened the door for me without even knocking, even though it was still before 10:00.
