Thanks for the reply Phuketrichard,

I finally managed to get an email reply from Paragon Hotel .... waited 2 days and then tried to fax and then phoned to check their email address (now info_paragonhotel@yahoo.com). Was told fax "not working" and "haven't checked internet today".

I think I have a reservation but will phone and email again the week before I leave.

I can't find much information on the Riverside .... do you think its better and / or has a reliable reservation system?

Stekmer
