Great hotel in a great location. Staff was tip-top & hotel kept in great conditon. Special kudos to both the manager who offered us an upgraded room because we had a leaky sink faucet (we declined the move but I appreciated his concern for enhacing our stay) and for the tall gentleman who fixed the leak problem. He was pleasant, very focused on resolving the problem quickly, diagnosed & quickly fetched the part, left the work space clean and was out in less than 30 minutes ... great job.

I've never stayed at this property! It was a sweet surprise! It felt amazing and we felt very much at home. The staff in reception and concierge were great! It was a delight. In fact so delightful, I cancelled a room at another property for a booking we had coming up and rebooked at Rydges! Thanks everyone!

We were extremely impressed with the whole experience. The room was comfortable and airy and we loved the balcony. The staff were so helpful when we checked in and everything made us feel welcome and special. The cleanliness in the room was lovely. Breakfast was also so good.

The Hotel is very clean and has comfortable beds. I like to stay here because the prices were affordable, and I was able to walk everywhere because it was very close to shopping and food areas. Also, I was able to walk near the river and cross the bridge to the other side, and enjoy the views from the top of another hotel.
