I think the Ryder Hotel is in a great location and has a great vibe. However, they charge a daily amenity fee and the pool wasn't even open. That was a big reason I booked it. The fact that they didn't provide any warning (even at check-in) and I had to read it the day-of at the pool, left a bad taste in my mouth. Otherwise, the property was cool and I would stay there again in the future.

The room was very fresh and modern. The pool area and bar were lively and well maintained. The pool area, front desk and restaurant/bar staff were really pleasant. The cafe was overpriced for what was served and the cafe morning staff didn’t have much personality. But there are other coffee options nearby!

I went with a group of mom friends for the weekend. The place was nice. But they took forever to clean our room, our friends room was very gross and had large bugs in it, ours was totally fine. The pool from the photo looks larger than it actually is. We actually had a great time at the pool. The outdoor bar is a hidden gem. Super huge and under used. It was a nice place but I’m not sure I would go back. Great for a mom’s weekend.
