We stayed at Rydges Camperdown as it was 7 mins from The Carriageworks where we were attending The Affordable Art Fair. My hubby & I didn't want to BYO food, so we included breakfast at $35 each per day. The scrambled eggs were half cooked & wet slop. I had to speak to a staff member as people were complaining & avoiding them.
Upon arrival I was informed that parking would also be $35 per day! We caught an Uber to the Art Fair. It ended up costing us over $1250 just for 2 nights stay, which was absurd, because it's not luxury accomodation (stay at the Venetian Hotel in Macau to see real luxury for less $$!!)
Our room was on the 2nd floor. It was clean, but the hotel is a little old and tired. The large rain shower head leaked freezing cold water over you while you were having a warm shower under the hand-held one, & it leaked out the side of the pipe as well. Our room overlooked the main road & we had street traffic with noisy ambulances all day and night. But the bed was very comfortable, at least. This was what saved it.
We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant both nights, & the food was delicious. Nothing fancy... normal food choices like garlic bread, a chicken roast dinner, barramundy, caesar salad, or chicken schnitzel. This was great because we didn't have to leave the hotel after walking all day. Overall, it was everything we needed, just way too pricey. They need to reduce their room prices if you're going to charge so much money for parking & breakfast on top.
