더 라이더 호텔

Nice location with fast easy walk to restaurants. Rooms are simple and nice. Pool area was busy. Many people with day passes so not many chairs for guests from the hotel. Overall would definitely recommend.

I booked The Ryder because of its location, great reviews, and rare perk of having a pool, but the reality has been frustrating and disappointing. There are only 11 pool loungers for the entire hotel, and they’re usually gone by 8:30 AM. Most other seating is reserved for people buying day passes or cabanas, and the pool is completely open to the public — by 1 PM, it was packed with non-guests. The pool was definitely “clubby” and not relaxing or kid friendly. Hotel guests are clearly an afterthought here. Rooms are cute and spacious, but you can hear everything through the walls, there’s no fridge in the rooms, and the layout isn’t accessible especially with only one elevator. The garage of “free” gear sounds great, but everything’s snatched up early, making it more of a gimmick than an amenity. I was horrified to find out at check out that we paid a $35 amenity fee each day.. for what exactly? We were better off staying somewhere else and paying the $30 pool pass that is available to the public. What’s especially frustrating is that I now suspect the glowing reviews are heavily curated. I’ve spoken with other guests who feel the same way I do, and it’s hard not to believe that negative reviews are filtered while influencer content is paid for.

Such a cute hotel! Only complaint is that I wish only hotel guests could utilize the pool. It was always crowded and hard to get chairs and almost all there weren’t guests.

Great location. Property looking a bit worn. Pretty average. Be aware that there’s a $35+ “resort fee” tacked on per day.

No mini fridge in the room which was a pain but overall my stay was lovely. Room was clean. Property staff were friendly and helpful. My room was dark since it was facing a courtyard and the window covered in vines. Had to keep shades closed in order to maintain privacy. You can’t beat the location. Right in the middle of everything.

The Ryder was the perfect hotel for our girls trip. Very retro and fun vibes. The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. The location couldn't have been better. It was close to everything we wanted to walk to. I do wish they had more seating at the pool. Half the deck is rentable sofas and the other half is very large upholstered loungers. Only a few people can get seats and the others are left lurking and waiting for one to open up. I also wish there was a coffee maker and fridge in the room. None of these are things that would cause me to not come back, just touches that would be nice when you pay as much as you do to stay here.
