Rydges Wellington
Room (floor 15) was clean but tired and impractical for a several days' stay. During the day the room got swelteringly hot. Gym was minimal. Pool and hot tub ok. Staff were courteous but not warm. Parking was $45 per night! In conclusion, for the price we paid, it was sadly substandard
