Lovely room but dining options way below expectations. I am a ceoliac and unable to consume glutin yet there were no glutin-free options on your menus. Another point is (and this is a delicate matter) but your staff are almost exclusively foreigners whose ability to speak English is very limited. We found this most irritating.

I spent hours trying to get in touch with the hotel team on the day of check-in. I was unable to reach them by phone or via the messaging portal. I ended up calling another Rydges property and asking them to relay a message to return my call, which still didn't work. This was incredibly disappointing.

The room was great. The only thing was the check in. After arriving at 3:30pm there was a line up which I understand. Then they make you pay for the room and also put a $100 hold on your card. Then I was told that the room was clean but the supervisor had to check it. We were given a free drink and advised they would call when room was ready. Half an hour later, still no call so went to the counter and was advised that my card did t go through. They advised that they called me but they didn’t. We then got it sorted but didn’t get into our room until 4:30 and had to quickly change to leave to attend our function. That was the only sour note. They need to do all the transactio in one go.

The toilet door handle was broken, there was a broken glass in the draw, and the curtains didn’t quite block out the sun enough. The air conditioning, although set to 18 degrees, didnt really work and just blew air. The stay was nice the location lovely, and the staff were great. The facilities and the room weren’t quite up to par this time.
