Had a great 1 night stay here while in brisbane to go to a gig, room was clean, bed was comfortable, very close to eating options if you arent looking at going far. 1 downside was couldnt get netflix working on our TV so had to put up with horrible free to air but first world problems. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again.

Great place for Ekka with a few notes

Rydges was great, had early check in. If you are going to the Ekka, just know, to park before 12pm is $15 extra, and something I feel they should advertise around Ekka time. We had a free drink, which was nice, though, I had a postmix softdrink and would have preferred a bottle, as my friend got a nice alcoholic bevie, will speak up next time. Just a second note on parking, make sure you check your account when exiting, as it took a 2nd amount out, have contacted them and still waiting for a refund! Other wise great place to stay, especially around Ekka time.
