Review of Rydges Darling Square Apartment
Pros:

The location. The water pressure.

Cons:

No lobby for drop off. Imagine it is a rainy day, you had 3 luggages, a stroller and a crying toddler and the transport dropped you off at a distance away as the apartment did not have a drop off area.

Very impressed, staff were lovely and the free upgrade made our stay
Pros:

Location, staff and upgrade to room

Cons:

There was a mix up with breakfast, it wasn’t clear how to access menu, was told it was on the tv, a couple of calls later and the lovely girl at reception helped us out. Breakfast came with no butter or pepper and salt
