I recently stayed overnight at Rydges Gladstone for business. The hotel staff were fantastic and very helpful when I had questions about the town and property. The hotel is very clean and in need of an update. I mentioned this to the reception desk and I was advised that they are about to begin a refurbishment of the rooms. This... More

Dirty old carpets , scanky bathroom,smelly bed with crappy mattress,the only good thing this dump had going for it was the staff and the exit sign,never again unless they knock it down and replace it with a tent which would be far more pleasurable

Although an Australian owned hotel chain, but this hotel gives me a feel of the good US hotels we have stayed in during our tour there a few years ago. We were 'forced' to stay in the hotel after bad weather caused our helicopter flight to Heron Island to be cancelled. Last minute search for a hotel to house my... More

The high cost reflects lack of competition rather than quality of hotel. Very sad, dated decor. The room was clean and had the basic requirement in refreshments and toiletries . The bed was comfortable and clean. However the decor was tacky and worn. The only chair was torn and worn away in places. Even in low occupancy we were placed... More

It looks like the Ryges group is price gouging again... this is a terrible, old hotel that has had a very cheap facelift and dares charge $350 night for dirty rooms, collapsing furniture and almost enough space to swing a cat (but not quite) Staff were rude, unhelpful and the hotel tried to overcharge by nearly$390.00. After a 3/4 hour... More
