It was comfortable and clean with sufficient amenities. One of the best things was the convenient location; the light rail and train station were just a 5 min walk away. The added Expedia VIP bonus breakfast buffet had great options too.

A quick trip to Sydney for a medical appointment. I appreciated the beautifully comfortable bed, quiet room and the convenience of dinner and a drink onsite. Parking included with my stay made me very happy!

We arrived from the cruise port over 3 hrs ahead of 2pm check in but was told a room was ready and no extra charge. The location was a 5 minute walk to all public transportation. Buffet Breakfast was good but found the price high.

Our designated room was a bit of a letdown this time. The TV was not working and the room had not been cleaned properly, there was a bobby pin on the floor and some other debris along with the dust on the horizontal surfaces. We were moved to another room with no fuss, so the service was excellent.

The Rydges property was an enjoyable stay, but the room rate of $399 taxes (total $438) was not justified. All services and facilities were good, but did not justify the room rate. In future I will book another option. The surrounding neighborhood is less than desirable in that the streetscape was dirty, footpaths damaged and unsafe and too many undesireable people just haning around.
