All Staff were Extremely Friendly & Helpful, Property Location is Great, Price is Very Good, the Only thing letting the Property down a Little is that the Rooms are Not fantastic... Bathroom Very Old and in need of Full Renovations, older style TV's etc... minor things could have been updated. Bed & Pillows were nice enough, and generally nice experience, that could be improved with a bit of Updating to the Rooms.

Poorly maintained, very outdated and dirty. Very disappointed that Rydges would put their name to such a building
