Room was just OK. It's not a far star resort, but you're not paying for one. 5 minutes' drive to everything. Backs onto a main road so our room had traffic noise at night. It's quite dated and carpet and fittings quite worn. We only stayed the 1 night. Would not really want to stay much longer.

We booked wanting a cheap stay so expectations were reasonably low, but the photos on the website seemed ok. We arrived and it was very run down and we didn't end up staying. Disappointing.

No air conditioning working. Very hot night had to open window which meant traffic noise all night. No staff to tell that anything was wrong. Staff basically disinterested. Very poorly maintained.

We stayed in a family room and it was great as kids had their own separate section. We only stayed 1 night but it was really good, would stay again if we came back to Katoomba. Place is basic but was clean and comfortable. So no issues at all.

Just a one-night, great stay

Just a one-night stay. The reception staff were very pleasant, and even the cat was very friendly! The motel was next to a main highway, but we could barely hear the traffic. The room was spacious and the air conditioner was nice and quiet. The bed was comfortable although the pillows were a bit hard. Overall, a great stay.
