Disappointing due to the lack of cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms. No attention to detail, dirt, scum, hair, fingerprints and rubbish left behind from previous guests was not a pleasant first impression for our family. Furniture and room interior, air vents and fittings were worn, damaged and dirty. Spend some money on cleaning and repairs.

The hotel is average. The staff are worked to the bone. There is no staff to do breakfast and a person staying there jumped in to serve clients. What this should not happen. The rooms walls needs a paint. The breakfast is quite poor. Most hot dish’s are cold I wouldn’t stay again. It’s basic if that’s what your looking for.

Great staff. Everyone helpful and accommodating. The air conditioning in the room was noisy through the night. My biggest issue was the bedding. Two flat sheets covering a soiled duvet does not do it for me. Overall a good stay.

This hotel is well located for the Parliamentary circle, and parking (paid) is good. The staff were very friendly, but a number were inexperienced and so not as efficient as they may be (breakfast restaurant table clearing, for example). The fitout is nice, but overall the hotel could better maintained - door frames around the room were chipped, and at least two of the service plates on the breakfast buffet had big chips in them.

Having arrived from a late flight issue in Melbourne at 1.45am i was pleased to have a room waiting. My stay was short, as I was up at 7.00am and out of the Hotel around 8.00am. The room had everything that was needed. Thank you for accommodating my late arrival. (Early morning arrival)

For a Rydges property, I thought this one was a little rundown. The room needed a repainting - lots of markings/ scrap marks on the walls and some of the furniture. There was no coffee making facilities in the room. There were not many people in the restaurant on Friday night - but the service was very, very slow. Quality of my main meal was fair; the dessert was nice. Staff were very friendly.
