The bed was super comfy so had a peaceful nights sleep . Great sized room with a couch, desk, coffee table and a king size bed. The room was made up when i departed for the day but found it strange that the tea and coffee station wasnt replenished so had to call for more supplies.

Only one thing wrong, they tried to charge us for breakfast and asking us are we sure we didn't multiply times. Trying to explain that we didn't have breakfast was very very frustrating. This also happened at the Canberra Rydges. Rydges need a better system 😪 So check you bill before paying.
