Rydges Newcastle
Enjoyed the spacious room and bath, loved the option of not having the room cleaned with bonus $10 voucher, appreciated the receptionist's excellent customer service and the concierge looking after my car. The afogato was excellent too. Would like to suggest a microwave in the room for leftovers ...
