We enjoyed our stay at Rydges, however our checkin was very slow. There were two people working with customers ( who took forever to get their room). We were next in line. A third person was working behind a desk. I thought they could have helped in checkin.

2/10 Poor

Overpriced, outdated hotel
Old, outdated hotel. Family friendly but at capacity there was too many people. No seats left at swimming when we went at 3pm. Long wait to get into the breakfast buffet if you go after 8.30am. Also fire evacuation and no reimbursement on our drinks and food that we had just ordered, and then kids couldn’t go to bed until after 10pm. Management could’ve done a better job with communicating to everyone when to come back. We went elsewhere in the resort as we got tired waiting outside the hotel for over 1 hour and they sent staff to say an announcement would be made over the PA system in the whole resort. However no announcement in the resort outside of the main hall area, and we only found out we could go back to our room after calling the reception multiple times ourselves.

The hotel rooms were aged and need a new lift. The toilet would’ve flush properly and there was rust around the shower. Things in the room broke easily by simply touching them.

Great place for family, front desk staff so lovely
Had the best mini getaway with the family! Close proximity to all the main attractions in Hunter, was worried room would be cold during winter but air con worked a treat to keep us nice and cosy. Buffet was kids highlight - a lot of variety and good quality. Next time will definitely take advantage of the kids club activities (we already had itinerary mapped out and booked before we got here). Front desk reception staff were friendly and super helpful - will definitely stay again.

Very disappointed to discover what we thought was a hotel room in the main complex was a villa about 400m away. Not pleasant in cold and rain to come for meals and drinks. Walls very thin too - you could hear the conversation of our neighbours (and all their cluttering around plus a noisy child)
