We had a very pleasant one-night stay at Rydges. The property appeared to have had a recent refurbishment; the lobby and restaurant were modern and up to date, rooms were bright and airy, and everything was functional. The beds were standout; seemingly quite new they were soft and comfortable, and pillows were sturdy and supportive. The staff member at check-in was fantastic, and provided me with a pedestal fan for our room at my request. While a fairly basic offering, all room facilities were clean & worked. Our room had a nice view of the bay. The open-air parking lot with quite a high daily fee is unfortunate, and the rooms do lack a safe. Being winter, we didn't have the opportunity to test the (outdoor) pool & facilities. A budget-friendly, updated hotel with comfortable beds, good for a short stay.

I came early to hotel book in time was 2pm. Due to traffic concerns I around 11am. Staff took my baggage to store. They didn't offer commentary coffee, tea or water. I asked where I could go to sit and drink or have lunch. Staff looked at me quizzically and directed me to a place that was shut down out of business. I found a place to sit drink and read. Returned at 1.30pm. My room was ready. Finding where the key card went to operate lift was problematic. After calling staff she showed me a small black box on one side of lift. No signage to indicate its usage. Got to room. Small amount of sand on bathroom floor got into my feet some on clothes that dropped to floor. There wasn't a lot able to shake out. By the way I didn't go near the beach so wasn't from me. Feel asleep. Woke up to find only one pkt of sugarfree sugar which I used in my coffee. The final sheet on mattress I had to tuck in to make stay in place. I think the hotel could do better with attention to detail. All of these things are fixable. The hotel could do better.

Staff were inconsiderate and had given false information for the parking. We had a stay on a weekend were we were told by 2 staff members it was $30 per stay per car, so we thought how cheap and great. I have since been over charged. So I called up and had asked why we were double charged and the staff member had said that it was per night, so I had said told her that we were told differently and could the payment be amended. Staff said no. Staff then proceeded to give my booking information with prices to a member who was staying with me, when the hotel was paid for by a club, and was private. Staff were in considerate and non apologetic.
