Great location and the staff were excellent. Spacious room and very comfortable bed. Shower over the (slippery) bath difficult for older travellers but the shower itself was excellent. Maybe a bit more storage would be good for longer stays. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed our stay at the Rydes Esplanade. Nice room that was a good size with with good amenities. Would have liked access to Foxtel or similar shows. TV was not a smart TV so that is something that could be improved. Otherwise Wife and I were very happy with our choice.
