"Nice Hotel. Remodeled very well. Three elevator lifts. The elevators can be a little slower but not bad for them being in a historic hotel. Excellent location for the city!

The Ryder Hotel

8/10 Good
"A nice hotel and nice rooms very good location. There's no bar or lounge in the hotel, but the 1540 restaurant was large and bright, and the food was good. The bathroom was odd in that there was no place to put any toiletries, no shelf or cabinet of any kind and the mirror was not above the sink. It was on the wall to the left. The only trash can in the entire suite was in the bathroom. And it was very small."
