The property entrance, lobby and grounds were very good but the room decor (walls, furniture, lighting) was too dark and gloomy. The room was large enough but in essence needs an upgrade.

Very disappointing room. Carpet was stained, black mould in the shower door tracks, marks around hand basin and old and tarnished tap fittings. The only service to the room during our three day stay was emptying of the bins. The rooms are in desperate need of a refresh. On a positive note , the bed was extremely comfortable.

Having stayed here over a number of years, we found the property is getting tired and needs a fished and modernisation. The dining option this year was quite limited compared to the past. Large travelling group came in for dinner and were served first even though we had been at our table for some 10 mins before they arrived.

Disappointed

This hotel could use an upgrade! We have stayed here a few years ago and were quite happy, but this time around, we were disappointed. The bathroom is small for a family of 4 (room with 1 Queen bed and 1 sofabed) - and the fan was not working very well. After we all had showers, a lot of tiny black bugs came out from under the bathroom sink. The cleanliness of the room itself was poor, lots of spiderwebs (and one rather large spider). Kids said the sofa bed was not very comfortable. We could also hear very well the people in the room next door. Buffet breakfast was underwhelming as well and not much options for younger kids. We stayed at Port Macquarie Rydges a few weeks ago, and cannot believe the Armidale hotel is still part of the Rydges chain. Only redeeming features were price, free parking and location.
