Rooms are very dated and in poor condition. Bathroom tiles were missing and floor got wet every time we had a shower and became dangerous. Air conditioner was old and noisy. Had to turn it off to be able to sleep. Would be very hot in summer.

Ideal position for stadium. Surrounded by great bars/ pubs / restaurants Amazing comfy huge bed. Only negative is the breakfast buffet, it’s a bit basic. Free cookies at reception make up for it

We were very disappointed with this property. The room was not serviced properly. The shower had all the paint of the floor lifting showing dirty grout. The carpets need a clean. Had to ask for the amenities to be restocked when taking a dirty towel back to reception. The pool area looks as if it has been abandoned - weeds growing up in the paving cracks and the pool looked very dirty. The photos on the website paint a very different picture to the reality!! It really needs a good over hall. On the positive, the lady who was on reception in the evenings was very helpful. We certainly expected a lot more from a Rydges, which is (was) one of my preferred hotels to stay.

Good central hotel.

Good hotel in central location. Only downside is probably more to do with recent Townsville weather. The air-conditioning seemed to struggle and was constantly dripping moisture from the vent. Townsville has seen an awedul lot of rain.

Pros: Excellent walking position to the stadium, shopping, restaurants and bars. Extremely comfortable full king size bed Free fresh baked cookies daily Onsite undercover car parking included in rate Clean Cons: bathrooms are very tiny and badly need renovating Buffet breakfast is total disappointment, tasteless, unappealing and cold. Included in our room rate and we went elsewhere the second day
