Stayed only one night in this hotel. Room had two queen beds and was quite roomy. No special view. Service at check in was quick and friendly. Usual mini bar and room service menu, although it lacked some usual menu items like club sandwich for example, this is a usual room service item in most hotels. Bathroom was standard 4... More

“Reception manager offered to put on his Porpoise suit!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2013

Our river view room had only a view of a fornicating couple in a pool. We asked for the room with a river view we had booked. The reception manager offered to put on his porpoise suit and swim in the pool for us. Seriously. Our 'upgrade' to the room above gave us a great view of the roofing over... More

I think on the particular night you stayed the gentleman you are referring to is a new staff member and was wearing a trainee badge. Apologies for any dissatisfaction in customer service at all, we really value our customers and focus highly on customer satisfaction! Sorry we... More

Place/Time: Located in Port Macquarie, visited during summer on a weekday. Ambiance: Seemed to be busy when we checked in. Small lobby, typical hotel lobby interior marble flooring...Couple of restaurants available right from the check-in lobby. Lots of pamphlets studded outside and inside the elevators.

“Oysters and noise”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2013

Can't complain about the service and amenities. We had a room by the pool with the pump running all night and ate a bad oyster from the restaurant. The staff were great and gave us a free wine. Great location

My husband and I recently spent a weekend at Rydges P/Macquarie. Our room had a splendid view but the air-conditioning didn't work and as it received a lot of sun it was extremely warm. We moved the next day but again the air-conditioning cut out overnight. The staff were friendly but on Monday morning the coffee machine was not out... More
