I decided to check into Rydges after camping for a few weeks as a break, but it was absolutely not worth the price I paid. The TV in the room didn’t work, the safe didn’t work, the sauna in the hotel didn’t work and the pool was pretty dirty. Room service forgot my order and I was overcharged. The car park was also full which was not the hotels fault but the alternative parking was completely unsuitable for a van and completely terrifying and difficult to park safely in. This was one of the more expensive hotels in Wellington so I really expected a higher standard but really it was just like a crap motel. Don’t waste your money.
