Last week I had a quick overnight in Gladstone. I can be a loyalist to specific hotels in certain places but not to hotel chains. It goes without saying hotels in regional areas are cheaper and Gladstone was no exception - I got an $80 per rate night on a Friday night.

The Rydges is right in the middle of the Gladstone CBD but its entrance is not immediately visible on the street it can be found in a corner of a mini-courtyard. I only arrived at 11pm and left at 7.30am (which is when I took this photo) so the restaurant was not even open. Oddly there is a restaurant in the hotel but it is not open at all on weekends. So for breakfast I just had granola from the Coffee Club - which was 50 metres up the road.

Because I arrived at 11pm, I was texted an access code to enter and then had to open a safe to get my key.

I was given Room 108 on the first floor. It had a comfortable Queen bed, a TV, minibar and bathroom with a 'combined shower-tub'. There was a great view in the morning although the room directly faced the rising sun.

There was also a small pool which would be useful on the humid days Gladstone has all year around.

Overall it did the job for a night's stay, especially in a regional area of Australia.
