It was great to be upgraded to a Suite upon check-in, and the staff were very friendly. The room was a little dated however with a very large shared balcony. The restaurant/bar and the breakfast restaurant were great too. Paid parking was close by, and the hotel is only a 5-10 minute walk from the center of town, which was very convenient. Beds were clean and comfy, and the heaters heated our rooms quite well.

Hotel was tired, we were not made aware of half the hotel being refurbished. We had a tiny room that we did manage to get upgraded to a family room thankfully! Lake view was amazing.

We’ve stayed a few times and I can’t fault its location - which is why we choose it. Out of the town chaos but an easy, flat walk along the lake to get into town. Beautiful views of the lake from the rooms too. It’s old and rooms need an update (they are actually doing this right now to half the hotel and I imagine the other half will be done soon too). The restaurants are great, lovely food and amazing views. Staff were hit and miss with their kindness. The man on reception is AMAZING and so accomodating, I don’t know his name but he was lovely vs a woman we had at one point who was much less accomodating and helpful. Same with dinner we had some really kind servers and then some grumpy ones. The other confusing point is the EVT system. No one really seems to acknowledge it or know how it works. I appreciate we booked through a third party but we’ve had no issues at other Rydges ro use our benefits (but not earn any points). We found mixed understandings but again the man on reception was happy to work through any issues and we appreciate that. Overall we like it here and hope to stay again once it’s renovated and refreshed as a QT

Sink didn’t work for two day stay. Balcony door lock didn’t work. No amenities and the room was basic and dated. Charged extra for parking. For almost $500 a night NZ$ it was not what I was expecting.
