“Rydges World Square places you squarely in the action, near Chinatown and the Capitol Theatre; I appreciate that kind of convenience. I imagine business travellers find the conference facilities a real draw, but the spacious rooms with those Rydges Dream Beds would win over anyone, even if the decor could use a refresh. For me, it's the authentic Thai restaurants just a minute away that seal the deal.”
