This property has a lovely view of you have a waterfront suite and the staff were fantastic in particular a check in man Adam was brilliant he also helped me find accommodation at another Rydges and his front desk service was second to none The rooms however were dated with pooquality towels and furnishing for around $300 a night I thought it a rip to charge $35 a night for hotel parking

We had a king harbourside suite. Very spacious, good climate control, quiet. Close to a nice set of harbourside restaurants with lots of dining choice. Room WiFi (3 device max.) more or less OK for single device streaming (12-18mps). Room had bar fridge mostly stocked with for sale products but with small amount of room left. Check out time 11am is generous (by Australian standards). One block from tram (2 stops along tram from train station at Newcastle Interchange). Harbour view was pleasant. Nice outdoor pool.

Hotel location was great and the little ones enjoyed the pool and slide very much. Breakfast was good in the morning. However, our room was not as clean as we would have expected, not a deal breaker, but the reason for the one star was a non working air conditioning in our room. Despite asking assistance in the front counter and ringing later when still was not working, we never got a solution and had to the spend the night it what it felt like a sauna. This is a basic expectation and it was not met.
