This was an excellent place to stay. We have travelled all the way up from Victoria on a driving holiday and this hotel we rate as our number one in all the motels we have stayed in so far since leaving home. The surroundings, room, service, staff, location, restaurant and food are the best we have experienced in our trip so far. Value for money, definitely. Highly recommend a stay at this motel to anyone.

The building is lookiing very tired and dirty and could do with a coat of fresh paint. I thought it was expensive for what it was and it is too far to walk down town. I would not stay there again.

Rydges staff at this hotel were excellent - nothing was a trouble. Only comment was that the restaurante menu was rather limited if you didn't have the seafood buffet.

Great place to stay. Staff were

Great place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue was the TV which didn't work initially - however, the staff replaced the remote after the problem was advised. We appreciated the hotel allowing us to leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out. The man who arranged this provides a great friendly and efficient service.
