The Ryder Hotel

The Ryder Hotel

8/10 Good
"Super cute and unique boutique hotel. Loved the vibe and the pool area was great! The hotel room floor layout is a bit of a maze (U shaped setup with different stairs and elevators leading to different spots). The room was missing a soap dispenser by the bathroom faucet when I checked in and only had a “body balm” dispenser. I didn’t even realize it wasn’t the soap dispenser until I saw a $39.99 charge to my corporate card a week after I checked out. I called the front desk who stated it was for a missing dispenser, but he said he’d remove the charge. Then it finally clicked after that call that they tried to charge me for the soap dispenser that was never there when I checked in. Overall, I was happy with the hotel and its great location! Hopefully the unwarranted charge for the dispenser gets reversed asap."
