We had to wait a long time to check in as there was a tour group in front of us and both reception members were busy with them. But overall there were good facilities and our stay was comfortable.

Effective climate control.
Quick check-in. Booked and paid through Hotels.com / Expedia, but Rydges also charged the credit card. Had to call to request a refund. As a big plus guests can turn off the reverse cycle heating.

Great service - room was clean and tidy. Just a couple of things: no hand soap on arrival but it was there after room serviced next day. Also in a room with 2 double beds and booked for 4 people- 2 adults, 2 kids- it would have been a much more comfortable experience if there had been at least one extra bedside table. There was only one.
