The biggest pro for staying at the Rydges is the comfortable full king size mattresses and the vicinity to the stadium and the main reason I rebook. Always a good night sleep.
However, the cons are really starting to blur the choice.
Firstly, the bathrooms are tiny, very out dated, hot water and shower pressure were almost zero. Had no cold water on at all to only have a warm shower. And you have to fight with a shower curtain trying to now to flood the floor when you turn around.
The room we stayed in had a massive window with only a pull down roller blind which was a bright awakening way too early. There are curtain tracks but none hanging.
Don’t even waste your money or time on the breakfast buffet. It is bland, luke warm and not appealing at all.
If the bathrooms were renovated it would be a massive improvement.
Our room was on the 2nd floor and a Deluxe King “apparently”. Street noise both people walking past talking and traffic was like I had a window open. Higher floors are much better for sound so if you book try and request.
Reception staff range from amazingly helpful to obviously would rather be elsewhere.
Plenty of places stay in area so will be booking elsewhere from now on.
