The pictures looked nothing like the accomodation or facilities old and outdated and broken. Not worth at all what I needed to pay. I’ve stayed at Rydges in different cities and this one needs an update as it’s ruining the brands name

Didn’t have the room I booked, had to pay extra to get it. Tried to charge me twice for an upgrade. Mould in the shower, smelly. Never again. First time booking through WOTIF, won’t again.
