Everything was clean and neat. The Staff were wonderful and very responsive. Always had a smile on their face. The pool was great on hot day. The bonus that i didn't realise when book was the partnership Rydges has with the next door gym. That was so much better that using an average hotel gym and it was super convenient. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f455a5b1-220c-448e-bebc-a3584b685236-1767935923511.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5f2ed88-6fef-4ebe-8b44-795c8b84f482-1767935922621.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61fdd86d-7f8a-464a-8195-1650c5291d40-1767935923115.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lloyd Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Jade Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect location ##### Jade Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved staying here, it was so convenient to everything and the service was amazing. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sayuri Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location, clean room and friendly staff. ##### Sayuri Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really great; room was excellent but staff were extra amazing and lovely.
