This was the worst hotel experience

This was the worst hotel experience we have ever had!! We will never recommend nor stay at this establishment again. upon entering our room, to our astonishment the bed had not been changed and the toilet upon lifting the lid had floaties in it - had to call housekeeping. The room was old, loose wiring on one of the lamps and was up all night due to the dust in the room from the uncleaned air-conditioning vents. Couldn't believe all of this in a so called well established brand of motel and four star as well - really poor!

Bathrooms are a little dated now (I don't like having to stand in a bath to take a shower under an old shower head), but overall still a nice hotel

Everything was great except the bathroom was very smelly with that moldy shower curtain smell. Still, this is probably one of the better hotels in Canberra that I've stayed in.

Room upgrade on check-in was much appreciated, thank you. Lobby restaurant and bar much improved by recent renovations. All guest rooms, including suites, are very faded in terms of decor and poor in terms of maintenance. Taps are missing covers, sinks don't drain well, furniture is wobbly, carpets loose and ceiling had cracked and peeling paint. Renovations are now desperately needed!

Rydges is a lovely walk to the

Rydges is a lovely walk to the lake and the hill, but a longer walk (15-20 minutes) into Civic or most of the other places in Canberra's central city area. The room was clean, and smelled pleasant, and the bed very comfortable, however the static fittings were tired and ready to be replaced. Had to ask for a room-service price list, but everything else seemed well organised. Would happily stay again.
