Detailed Reviews
Absolutely perfect location when travelling with dogs! So affordable and just excellent with the room for our big dog and us. The last thing you want when travelling with dogs is a high maintenance or fancy room. This room had everything we needed and a great location. Parking can be limited with oversized vehicles but there is room nearby and two or three open air parks.

I'm writing this on the free internet at the Kingsford. This is a great spot. Close to everything, bus stop outside the door and Downtown in 5 minutes. The beds are comfortable beds, rooms have big screen TVs and a balcony overlooking the river. Breakfast is pretty good and you can eat as much as you want!
We found the place on the Internet and emailed a few questions which were accurately answered and very helpful.
I'm surprised to see some of the negative comments on previous posts. It's a budget hotel but it has a high level of facilities - Free Internet, Free breakfast, computer, printer, fax, also free parking. I've paid nearly as much to park my car in some places as I have for my whole stay at Kingsford Riverside Inn. This place is serious value for money and it's comfortable and pleasant as well.
The hotel is well maintained. Fresh paintwork, clean carpets and the toilets are immaculate.
The managers Olinda and Joe are lovely people and are obviously proud of the place and enjoy dealing with people.
We haven't found as nice a place to stay in a very long time and it's hard to believe you can stay in a hotel on the riverbank in a Capital City at such a good price.
We'll be back!

The rooms are old style but the technology is right up to the mark! Digital Plasma TV, free Wifi. Clean rooms with plenty of tea and coffee, (and biscuits!) and although the bathrooms are shared they were gleaming.
I had a good night’s sleep in a comfortable bed and when I woke up I was still about 40 bucks better off than if I’d stayed anywhere else in the neighbourhood.
No wonder this place is well patronised. I felt at home especially knowing I wasn’t expected to put my hand in my pocket if I wanted a cup of coffee, biscuits, an extra towel...
Loved it!

Booked the pet friendly room thinking it would be similar to rooms shown in photos on the website. BIG MISTAKE.
Arrived, greeted by a very rude man. Was shown the room and ended up leaving in under 5 minutes.
If you want a view of your partner going for a dump from the bed, it would be perfect. I have never seen anything like it. There was a small shower curtain to block the view. There were also dead cockroaches on the floor on arrival.
When we let the man know we were not staying he was extremely rude (we let him know politely that the room was not for us and weren't asking for a refund).
I am not one to leave negative feedback but I strongly advise people to avoid this place - I was absolutely mortified.
We ended up finding a beautiful pet friendly place up the road.

The WORST business I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with! Disgusting customer service from owner/manager and not at all accomodating given the circumstances. Travelled over 7 hours and due to road closures and road works we were delayed and could not make it to reception before 8pm closing. Just after 8:30 arrived to checkin and was yelled at and abused by manager and refused entry. After a day travelling and extremely exhausted the last I needed was to have a place like that treat me like crap and refuse me a bed. Disgraceful and I will be telling everyone I know to avoid this place.

Very Rude Customer Service Rep, asked a very simple question and received a blunt and rude response. Please see attached conversation through Booking.com. Would not stay there on principal. Hopefully this was a receptionist and not the Manager!

Totally awful. Owner was rude and arrogant. The room was in the under parking area, towels were stained. The whole room needed a lot of TLC. Laundry tub for vanity, no where to sit except on the beds. The toilet had a shower curtain to cover it. Fixtures and walls were stained.
On the plus side, the room was clean and beds comfy,
It was on the corner of a busy street so very noisy.

Rough as dogs balls. No in room toilets or shower. Across the street from all night BP lit up like a Xmas tree. Curtians dont even cover the windows in full. The road outside is loud and busy til late. Matresses probably bought at op shop. TV kettle and fridge work. Only stayed here for early morning airport drop off, but regretting it already. It is cheap, and you get what you pay for.

My friends and I were staying here after a long plane ride, when we booked in here, and we got the most warming welcome by a young gentleman of about 14, who promptly did his best to book us in, (with a little bit of help from dad ; )), then showed us to our room. The room was perfect for our needs with complimentary tea and coffee, high speed wifi, free breakfast, and the sweetest plasma ever! I definitly reccommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap, good nights sleep.

After a long day at the hospital with my elderly Mum, I found accomodation at the KingsfordmRiverside Inn. Despite the very late hour, we were welcomed and helped inside and given a groundfloor room with tiolets across the hall with facilities that Mum found very helpful. We extended our stay for a late checkout after a free breakfast upstairs. Thanks again for making our stay the best part of a traumatic day. The McBrydes of Townsville

Hello Michelle.
We have a dedicated pet friendly room and guests may have their pet with them
There are parks across the road from us also an off lead park about 10 minutes walk away.
The dog(s) are the owners responsibility for your stay. We expect that they be quiet, not barking, and certainly not aggressive.
We do have a fenced grass atea at the back of the building but we would not allow animals to be left there unattended and any mess to be cleaned up.
There is a description of the pet room on our website and you can book thro the site or give us a ring.
I hope that's a help, regards. Charles
Only our pet friendly room which has a pretty basic shower/toilet setup.
Our Standard rooms have queen bed, balcony, plasma TV, fridge, and a vanity with hot & cold water..
The rooms are pretty comfy, the linen is clean, breakfast is free, and we have a class hi speed internet system throughout the building, along with a wired laptop with printer for printing out airline tickets etc.
We're just a budget hotel, we don't pretend to be anything else, but people generally feel at home with us, and frankly the ones that don't are usually people you wouldn't want to have around you anyway!
Regards,
Charles
