The room was clean and comfortable. The pool could have had some more water in it, it was well below the first step and made it very hard to get in and out of there, especially with children. Otherwise, overall great

Room was fine although slightly dated. Staff were helpful when I requested assistance with the heating. Overnight parking is convenient but a little pricey at $27, particularly given on street parking is free albeit limited. Happy to stay at the Rydges again.
