The room was inline with my expectation. Everything was clean and neat. The Staff were wonderful and very responsive. Always had a smile on their face. The pool was great on hot day. The bonus that i didn't realise when book was the partnership Rydges has with the next door gym. That was so much better that using an average hotel gym and it was super convenient.

The hotel's location was very convenient to the nearby beach and attractions. There were plenty of restaurant options around. The pool has a big slide, which was good for older kids. There's a mini train ride for small kids at a small extra cost. Very family friendly hotel.

We had a lovely two night stay with our five year old son. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room which was in a brilliant condition - as well as the rest of the hotel. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable. The valet parking was so convenient and a good price. The hotel was in a great location with wonderful views of the water. We had a brilliant stay and will definitely look to book again in the future.
