Stayed here due to its convenient location to the convention centre. Decent room and comfortable, the only thing is the noise from the bar at night. Would recommend to do better soundproofing in the room.

Called ahead of time to arrange parking etc for activities and was not informed of valet. $55 for a valet that we stood around for 40minutes waiting for. They drove my car 15meteres and then I had to go through the time wasting and unorganised valet process to go back to the car so we could change our child as the room was not ready. Forced valet should be illegal.

Lovely room but dining options way below expectations. I am a ceoliac and unable to consume glutin yet there were no glutin-free options on your menus. Another point is (and this is a delicate matter) but your staff are almost exclusively foreigners whose ability to speak English is very limited. We found this most irritating.

I spent hours trying to get in touch with the hotel team on the day of check-in. I was unable to reach them by phone or via the messaging portal. I ended up calling another Rydges property and asking them to relay a message to return my call, which still didn't work. This was incredibly disappointing.
