The hotel was good, the only negative was the hotel lifts. One was of service for “renovations” and having just one lift for a hotel of that size just didn’t cut it, particularly during peak times.

Having onsite parking was an absolute blessing. We inadvertently booked on a day a festival was being held so parking was at a premium. The Hotel is working on their lift which is good because the old one is slow. Staying at the hotel was an absolute delight. So comfortable.

This stay was wonderful - nearby to shops and right on the shoreline. Beautiful walks and close to the regional gallery. The staff in the hotel were very friendly, pool was great for a cooler dip and the spa to relax in. The pool does need some TLC - brickwork very dirty in parts. The restaurant and bar were a big disappointment, excellent food but the service was appalling, the worst we experienced in Port. Perhaps some training may help, also to advise staff not to repeatedly call everyone "guys" . We would definitely stay again but not visit the dining area.

We had a wonderful stay Rydges Port Macquarie. The room was super spacious, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The pool are was great and even better that it was heated and warm enough for swimming in this colder weather. All staff were friendly and accomodating when we requested a few things. Parking is extra, however, we just parked on the street as there was plenty of parking available around the hotel.

Clean and modern accommodation. When staying there parking should be included in the cost, its disappointing to find out there is extra cost for parking after making the booking. If parking was included i would give 5 stars.

The hotel is nice, but I was woken up at 6am by load machine noise and workers talking directly outside my window. This continued throughout the morning. After arriving late from driving from Brisbane this is unacceptable when the hotel is charging the same amount as a hotel in the middle of Sydney.

Thai is our second time staying at Rydges Port Macquarie and we liked the renovated rooms. However we were again disappointed with our outlook being the lane with bins and it woke our whole family up at 6am when they started to wheel them and the noise was loud and unpleasant. Not what you want on a holiday!

Dinner at Zebu Restaurant was enjoyable, with good food and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the experience at the morning buffet was let down slightly by staff who seemed somewhat disengaged. Similarly, the check-in process lacked the warm hospitality you’d typically expect — it felt more transactional, as if the hotel was doing guests a favour rather than offering a welcoming service.
