Check in person at the desk was rude/curt and could NOT be bothered. She was short and clearly pissed off that we were checking in. Little information and said very snarky-just get the information in your room. SOOOOO bad we almost left. Had it not been prepaid we would have.

Returned to Ridges after great experience several years ago=but disappointed. City view = office building. Room= clean, tidy but very tired (no ammenities). Shower= burning hot or freezing. Noisy aircon going on & off all night (Aircon unit sits on the floor of the room by the window) Breakfast = poor quality, limited selection, have to pay extra for barista coffee (not worth extra $). Staff = very friendly; check in and out staff excellent. Wait staff = very nice but need training (did not know how to clean, clear or even get around to setting tables). Not worth the $$ ..
