Not the Rydhes you expect
This place is a Motel not a Hotel which is a little misleading. It was great they offered 2 bedroom accomodation but the room and furniture was very dated and not what I would expect from a rydhes. The main TV had recently been installed but had a dodgy cable causing it to not work, they did try to fix this for us but really couldn't do much. The shower was something else! Calcium dripping off the rain shower, pipes so hot you could burn yourself (would be worried if kids stayed there in the 'family' unit). Most fixtures either grimy, broken or missing really. We managed but glad we were only there one night and quite disappointed with the price, for this quality I would expect a lower price, more in line with dated motels.

Hotel was very close to shopping centre. Parking at the site was excellent. The room was very dark as lighting was poor and the bed needed to be replaced as it sagged in the middle

Excellent accommodation at ground level with short walk to on-site restaurant. This establishment lived up to its promise in all aspects, including the dining experience at Azka Restaurant. Will recommend as good value and great accommodation and hospitality.

We spent one night here and can say it was a great stay. The communication was great, we arrive late at night and the key to the room was very accessible. The room was big, clean and had everything we needed. We had breakfast included with our stay, but I wish we didn't, as it was really not good. I understand continental breakfast is quite frugal, but some of the bread and the croissants were stale and dry, not very pleasant to eat.

Was very disappointed, we booked because this was a Rydges, as this is somewhere we have stayed before and felt would be a great choice. However checked in on the Thursday before Good Friday and checked out Easter Monday and there was no housekeeping. This should have been highlighted on booking not when I arrived. We have never had this over Easter holidays before.

We had a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with kitchenette which was very handy! Continental breakfast, with the option to upgrade to a hot breakfast for a small cost, each morning was absolutely delicious. Absolutely recommend and will return in the future.
