We booked this property on the reviews, the Rydges name and reviews from friends about the fact that World Square had exceptional views. The property was clean and tidy and staff were excellent, totally expected of a Rydges. The room however was a bit of a disappointment. The room was a double with two beds. What double really meant was that there were two double beds, not one queen and a single or two queens. This made for a pretty uncomfortable stay for my wife and I. There was also not much room between the bed and the bathroom wall making it difficult to get in and out. The room also looked at the wall of the building next door so there was no real redeeming features from the bedding arrangement. I have to say I was pretty disappointed considering the astromical cost for 2 nights over a weekend. I don't think I will stay here again.

I love the fact that you are on top of a shopping centre. So convenient to be able to run out and grab something or get coffee or dinner.
