The restaurant is nice and the buffet breakfast was very good, though only the standard things you would find anywhere, with nothing unique. The parking is bad - most of the immediate street frontage bordering the drop-off area is no parking, then paid parking beyond that. The actual drop-off zone, described on their web site as their "driveway", is actually just the street. There is no driveway and you just have to drive around and around the block until you are lucky enough to get one of the five spaces (or four, if others have parked spaciously). The various staff members we saw at valet parking, reception and the restaurant breakfast intake were either rude, disinterested, condescending or bored. The more junior service staff were very polite and welcoming.

Great service, the reception staff are all very professional, efficient and friendly. The valet team are great with the vehicle parking and do their job with a smile and professional manner. The room was very clean and functional, good quality screens and two of them, bar fridge, iron board and iron which is all handy. Very close to good restaurants and short walk to the closest beach. Good walking along the water all the way to the beach and an ezymart across the road.

Rydges is a lovely little hotel situated on the harbour at Newcastle, accessible to the walking tracks headed out to Newcastle and Merewether Beaches. The valet parking was excellent, as was all other staff. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The pool area was a sun trap, very relaxing. Overall a very nice weekend away.

The suite was spacious and nicely set up, and the harbour views were terrific! My only issue was with parking as street parking availability is limited or expensive. As well as the current customer $35 service, the hotel should have an arrangement with the council whereby temporary parking permits at a nominal cost of say $20/d are provided to guests to use the nearby street parking sites.
