Place was average customer service poor. Booked into a room got a room next to a large air-conditioning unit could hear it all night buzzing. Couldn't sit outside in the morning sun for breakfast next to the bistro. All tables were wet. They Locked the door to the outside balcony. Stopped us getting out. Maybe to lazy to pickup cups and plates from out on the Balcony. Charged us twice for breakfast. Ask for a flat white got a cappuccino instead. My pet hate when people can't make coffee.

Check-in staff were not rude, but totally disinterested, unwelcoming and unfriendly. We booked twin beds (2 beds). We got 2 beds but they were placed together and a double sheet used locking them together thereby meaning we only got one bed. The toilet seat was loose and moved making it dangerous. To have a shower you need to go into a large bath. Not at all accessible or suitable for elderly people. The bar fridge was stuffed full of hotel drinks meaning there was no room left for anything you wished to place in the fridge. Hairs found on the hinges in the bathroom behind the door. The rooms were oldish and worn - I can put up that but not with all the other issues that accompanied the premium price paid for the room. Much better value elsewhere. Will not be staying here again and very disappointed in the rydges brand.

Location location location. Do you like central air conditioning that has vents that haven’t been cleaned for a long time? Filthy windows inside and out that haven’t been cleaned in months? Zero service to the room? Want to spend $600-900 for a twin room? Broken lifts? Then this is the place for you! All jokes aside. There is some great accom in Port Macquarie for a fraction of the price. Personally I don’t care if a place is dated but keep it clean. The cheap pedestal fans in each room dead giveaway that a good amount of money is needed to be spent on the place.

Great location on the water front however this hotel is very old and worn. Our room had dirty sheets & another guests beard clippings in the bathroom sink and floor. I asked for it to be cleaned up but still they missed the mess. Really disappointed. Looking at cancelling our return stay. The spa has seaweed floaty bits in it, was like sitting in a pot of dirty water, and had old algae/ water stains on the sides. This is a 3 star hotel at best.

Rydges is at a convenient location, near to the centre within close proximity of everything. Right next to the lake, it offers lakefront walks and activities. The rooms are large with comfortable beds. However, the AC in the room wasn't working at all. No exhaust in the bathroom was a let down too. At times the carpet in the room stinks. The staff however is friendly offering great customer service making the check-in and check out process quite comfortable and easy.
