Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was a good size, modern and clean, with the bed being really comfy. Air-conditioning worked perfectly, and the front desk staff were super friendly and happy to help me get to and from my events. There’s a taxi rank right out the front, and the secure off-street parking was a big plus. Buffet breakfast runs from 6–9 a.m., and there’s also room service if you feel like staying in.

Rooms are very dated and in poor condition. Bathroom tiles were missing and floor got wet every time we had a shower and became dangerous. Air conditioner was old and noisy. Had to turn it off to be able to sleep. Would be very hot in summer.

We were very disappointed with this property. The room was not serviced properly. The shower had all the paint of the floor lifting showing dirty grout. The carpets need a clean. Had to ask for the amenities to be restocked when taking a dirty towel back to reception. The pool area looks as if it has been abandoned - weeds growing up in the paving cracks and the pool looked very dirty. The photos on the website paint a very different picture to the reality!! It really needs a good over hall. On the positive, the lady who was on reception in the evenings was very helpful. We certainly expected a lot more from a Rydges, which is (was) one of my preferred hotels to stay.
