Good location, although the room 217 was at one end and we looked at the roof next door which wasn’t much fun!

The room we were first allocated was so dusty, and had such a dirty dismal view on to a deck, that we requested another room. We were told that we had booked "only an economy room". The inference seemed to be that we could not expect a clean room. The second room was slightly better, but the skirting boards and wardrobe floor were extremely dusty. My wife is an asthmatic! Both rooms are well overdue for a complete renovation. The paint is chipped and dreary, there was mould on some of the bathroom grouting. Apparently the hotel was last refurbished in 2004, and it shows. The upside was we had booked only one night. For the price, I expect at least a clean room.

Great location & bar area overlooking river. Food options were below par & food quality was very average. I would have expected better from Rydges.
