Lovely room but dining options way below expectations. I am a ceoliac and unable to consume glutin yet there were no glutin-free options on your menus. Another point is (and this is a delicate matter) but your staff are almost exclusively foreigners whose ability to speak English is very limited. We found this most irritating.

The website advised there are a 24 hour room service menu and when I contacted them I was advised there was not and they directed me to a convenience store across the road. Very disappointing

I spent hours trying to get in touch with the hotel team on the day of check-in. I was unable to reach them by phone or via the messaging portal. I ended up calling another Rydges property and asking them to relay a message to return my call, which still didn't work. This was incredibly disappointing.
