Great overnight stay

We had a great overnight stay during our road trip. The room is spacious with nice interior, bed is comfy & bathroom is clean & lux. As it was raining, it was very convenient to be able to have dinner at the Turkish restaurant. Helpful & friendly at hotel & restaurant. We enjoyed our short stay at Rydges Armidale.
