We booked 2 rooms. In 1 room the shower leaked badly and had low pressure. In the other room the hot water lasted about 30 seconds, then went cold.

Paid $450 a night for a water view in which the balcony I couldn’t use due to the ridiculously loud air conditioning unit underneath it. Made it unbearable to be outside.
Impressive entrance and ambiance but all down hill from then on, apart from the staff who were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel appeared to be struggling and did not make it on many fronts such as:
-our room had no pictures just picture hooks on the wall
-there were coffee stains on the walls
-the bathroom sink plug did not work
-very noise (old) air conditioning service
-decent coffee at breakfast was an extra charge
-parking was extra and as everyone would have a car it should be in the room price as are beds, linen TV etc.
-catering is very much like average pub food.
Sorry, but it just does not rate.
Great location for river view. Great spot for kids to play in the pool. Rooms and public areas are fresh and attractive but the parking process is a major negative. $15 a day, supposedly run by a company other than Rydges, with a difficult to navigate self paying system that eventually we had to get the reception desk to do for us.
It would seem slightly more tolerable if reception automatically took care of this on check in. Sadly this is not the protocol.
No telephone in room, so for room service we had to actually go downstairs to order. When it did arrive, the battered fish was lovely.

Our room was not ready so we had to stay in a smaller room. We have been going to Sails for numerous times and was disappointed this time.
Room had a terrible smell upon entering.
The kids beds head area were very dusty caused allergy issues for both.
Shower head was leaking and sprayed water onto toilet paperwork roll and toilet.
Facilites outside of the room was fantastic. It was a great location, nice views, very relaxing feel.
Staff were very welcoming and lovely.
Good property but dated bathrooms, beds and furniture. Toilet exhaust wouldn't shut down, TV was temperamental, ceiling fan was noisy, ants in the room. But the property overall was nice and staff is very friendly and courteous.
