Really nice staff

The receptionist helped me a lot when I had some trouble with Uber taxi service, and offered us welcome drink for us. The bar at the hotel was really nice atmosphere. We enjoyed freshly brewed beer and tasty hamburger.

I was woken at 6:30 am by a staff member reconfiguring my door lock and it beeping loudly. Followed by him doing every other door lock on the floor. Poor choice of time for this job Rydges.

The property was great. My only disappointment was that it was nigh on impossible to get a drink in the hotel, when I attempted to do so at 9pm. All I wanted was my welcome drink.
