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.

The room was comfortable and spacious, although the bathroom was quite small. The room however lacked a few things. There was no milk for tea or coffee, no in room information about services available. The heating in the room was broken, but we were supplied with a small fan heater on request. Also no streaming services on the TV, only normal free to air TV, no Netflix or anything which I have never struck before. Room service was pretty ordinary but tasted okay, definitely wasn't presented very well. The staff were very nice and helpful when we needed anything.

I booked a bay view king room with breakfast, but the room we received did not match what was shown on the website. We paid a total of $597, including credit card fees, for two nights, and the room felt like it belonged in a two-star hotel—it was very outdated. The carpet was old and in poor condition, there was dust on the kettle lid, and the room lacked a safe. The bed was uncomfortable, which resulted in back pain when I woke up. I was so excited for our weekend getaway, as accommodation is something you really look forward to. Unfortunately, I regret choosing this hotel. The buffet breakfast was mediocre and overpriced. I will not recommend this hotel to my friends and will never book here again.
