Rydges - accommodation in Orchard Hills

Positives: *Registration process was very simple & not at all intrusive. *The view from the room was lovely: overlooked the golf course green & swimming pool. *The size of the room and bathroom was very comfortable. *Front desk person Peter’s mood the next day. Seemed in better spirits. *Was given an 11:00 am check-out but… Negatives: *Was greeted by Peter at front desk who seemed annoyed and irritated – perhaps not having a good day. *The room smelled like stale cigarette & when the aircon was turned on it exacerbated the terrible smell. *The aircon & filters need cleaning / changing. *Peter did provide an 11:00 am check-out but forgot to let house-keeping know… *The room looked nothing like the photo on Expedia. *Hotel hasn’t been well-maintained, cleaned or cared for. *They have indicatively NOT mopped or scrubbed the tiled area in the hallway, bathroom & shower for many, many years. The colour difference between high traffic areas & areas not utilised, is very obvious. *The fly screen mesh in the window panel was torn away. *The door chain was old and rusty & the door handle had been replaced but it was a shabby job on an old door. *Mattress & pillows way too soft, unsupportive & uncomfortable.

Great location for event we attended Staff were helpful and friendly Provided gluten free options at breakfast which was appreciated Room good size for the 3 of us Just needed a bit more focus on cleaning here and there as bedside tables were dirty and found some hair in my son's bed

Buffet breakfast was great, staff were very friendly and helpful
