We arrived before 3 and were hoping to be able to park in the Rydges carpark but had to follow a very hard to see map to Stout St. We didn't like the back up parking building becsause it was very tight to negotiate the up/down ramps.
We were on Level 8 of the hotel and there seemed to be noise in the level above, dragging furniture type noise.

And the living is easy.
Good hotel, affordable, easily access to the city. Lighting in room could have been better and heating was erratic. Great swimming pool and nice to have sky movies on board.

It was amazing, got told 45 minutes for our room service but it only took 20! Though the burger buns were slightly burnt it still tasted incredible. Great staff service even letting me access my car late into the night for forgotten items.
Well priced for what you get, highly recommended adding on the breakfast option in your booking! WORTH IT!
Will definitely stay here again.

Thank you to house keeping for keeping our room sparkly clean. I was shocked to return to my room and find that it had been cleaned and beds made. Appreciate it.
Also appreciate the staff member who checked us in. Very friendly & caring. Was really easy to check in and she made us feel welcome.
