The night of our stay the hotel had lost power. We were not advised of this prior to arrival or we would have not stayed. We had no air-con and half the lights and outlets weren't working. I made a complaint on the 4th January via email directly with Rydges South Bank about the night of our stay. I received a response that same day which I was very happy with, advising we would be refunded in full for our stay. I was advised the refund would be processed in 5-10 business days. It has now been over that time-frame and I have attempted to contact them twice via email over the last few days and no response. I made another complaint via their website and will see what happens. It is a shame as the hotel itself in the past has been great to deal with and facilities are great. I didn't write a review about the power outage initially as out of their control however, now I am a bit frustrated and hopefully this review will be seen and dealt with.

The guys on arrival come straight up to you asking for your keys. I said I’m ok I’ll check in and park it myself. He replies, no we park all the cars here for the customers and proceeded to give me a small numbered ticket to which I said was a great service and thank you. Little did I know that it was $55 dollars a day!!! I found this out 4 days later at check out. My car was $35 a day and the hotel completely blindsided me with $55 a day for 4 days that I drove 3 times. VERY POOR COMMUNICATION BEWARE
