Great location with modern rooms!
Pros:

Fantastic location, clean and modern upgraded rooms, undercover parking, and walking distance to everything.

Cons:

There could have been more storage space in the bathroom (extra hooks for robes and towels, bench space or face level storage for toiletries).

The most beautiful hotel in port Macquarie,
Pros:

The hotel was recently renovated. The room
We stayed at was clean, super spacious, modern and tastefully decorated with a nice river view. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary there, they gave us some nice goodies and late check out to make our stay even more memorable. The hotel is in a perfect spot, very private and close to the water and foreshore area. We enjoyed our swim at the pool and soaking in the jacuzzi while looking out to the water. If you are visiting port Macquarie, I highly recommend you to stay at the Rydges.

Cons:

The hotel isn’t cheap so may not for everybody’s
