Shamal Kumar Review of The Goldridge Resort
Stayed here for 3 nights at the beggining on July....
Stayed here for 3 nights at the beggining on July. We had booked the "Lakeview Superior Room" with breakfast included (600 block ground floor). Let's start with the checkin. The process was very efficient and we were met with a couple of lovely smiles at the front desk.
There's plenty of parking for available which is all within a relatively short walk of your room. The room was relatively modern with the usual amenities you'd expect. The slippers were a good touch considering the bathroom is tiled but there isn't underfloor heating. Note there are no bathrobes.
Good sized flat screen TV with a few channels but limited to local TV and only one Sky Sport and Movie channel each. The king bed was comfortable and with the options of both firm and soft pillows was a great added touch. Great view from our room as well. Note the pictures were taken from the restaurant but are essentially similar to the room view.
We ordered room service on a couple of different n im nights. The food was a little hit and miss overall pretty decent. Would recommend the Thai Green Curry and the Butter Chicken. Breakfast was what you'd really expect from a chain hotel with the usual choices of Breads, Pastries, Cereals, Fresh Fruits, Yogurts, Cold Cuts etc.
The hot food selection was again what you'd expect; Bacon, Eggs, Sausages, Hash Browns etc. I must add that everything was very fresh and replenished quickly once it ran out. Wait staff were absolutely superb and attentive. Probably some of the best around.
Only two things that were a let down and probably cost them a 5 star review were the following:
1) Room service menu pricing hasn't been updated. When we ordered the Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir I was surprised to learn that the price had jumped from $40 a bottle to $55. Was told that it was the old menu. Not sure why it wasn't updated.
2) The room service tray was left outside the room on the Friday morning around 9.20am and wasn't cleared until Saturday afternoon.
Overall would recommend staying here and definitely go for the Lakeview Rooms.
