We enjoyed our stay at The Ryder. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very simple with a very comfy bed and pillows. The food was excellent at the restaurant and delicious drinks at the bar. I also loved having a coffee shop in the building, good and convenient. I recommend the Ryder!

My daughter and I stayed at The Ryder to celebrate her birthday and attend a concert at the Gaillard Center. The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just steps away from great shopping and restaurants downtown. The hotel has such a fun, funky vibe, and we loved every minute of it! The food at Little Palm was fantastic, and the coffee and pastries from the Coffee Counter were a treat. Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond—truly exceptional service. Definitely a 5-star experience!
