We enjoyed our stay in Rydges due to its very convenient location and the cleanliness of the room.
Pros:

The location is fantastic as it is right in the heart of downtown. The rooms were cleaned daily as per our request and the room amenities were as expected. The property is pretty well maintained.

Cons:

The beds were too soft and bouncy - we sometimes woke up with a backache. The bathroom needs to be refreshed as it looks dated - although I must add it was very clean.
