4/10
As you walk into the lobby, you are greeted by a friendly reception area, and staff. The area is clean, and very well looked after, so my expectations were high.
Unfortunately that’s where it ended for the good times. Once we hopped out of the dodgy elevator, we walked the 6th floor hallway to our room. There were holes in walls, doors painted white, while others were varnished timber, windows were not sealing, which made the wind howl, and just a general uncared for vibe amongst the place.
Then we got to our room. On the surface it looked fine, until we saw multiple stains on the carpet, a pair of socks under the tv unit, a broken dishwasher, and honestly quite a dated interior. We walked to our bedroom to find that one window above the bed had the locking mechanism broken, so it would not close all the way, leading the the wind and rain absolutely howling through 24/7. I had to sacrifice a shirt to the window just to keep us from getting soaked in bed. Our bedroom door had been punched through at some point, and the nails from where they reattached the door skin were still visible. Not to mention the terrible patch job over the hole. The shower head was the cheapest available, and did an average job, and the lack of furniture on the balcony really made the moss growing stand out.
For over $500 a night for a 2 bed apartment, this one is an easy miss. Not anywhere close to what we expected from a Rydges establishment.
Won’t be returning!
