“Riverside Hotel strikes me as a place with a lot of potential, especially given its leisure activities like canoeing and fishing, which is quite unique for a hotel so close to the airport. While some areas may need attention, the combination of its location near Katunayake's attractions and its business facilities makes it a practical choice. I think with some improvements, it could really shine.”
