The location was convenient to the trails and amenities. The property is run down but sheets and towels were clean. There was a horrible smell in the room, probably mold. Air freshener did not help. The owners amd staff were very friendly and kind.

I booked the Clarendon because we were attending a birthday nearby and this was the closest to the location and as it happened, we were next door! So for us it was perfect as we could just walk to the party and not worry about taxis or ubers, it was also just the one night. The Motel itself is a little run down and it looks like there's work being done but also not sure when the work started or likely to finish. The room was comfortable, we had two queen beds in our room and the bedding was clean though the pillows were hard and not so comfortable. It was clean and we were fine to stay the night. The location though is fabulous, walking distance to the main street for food, shopping....all you need is just there. The location is fab, the motel is a little run down but if you're staying the weekend on the cheap, it's a great little stay.

Not the best motel, it’s in the middle of Reno’s but it’s somewhere convenient while visiting family across the road.

The first thing you should know is that the property is mid way through being renovated so the place looks a bit of a mess but we had a clean comfortable room with everything you could need. the hotel is at the bottom of the main street in Katoomba so the shops and places to eat are close by. The staff were also very helpful.

Really great value for the price. Considering we were just there to sleep, this place had everything we needed in a room. Clean, firm but comfortable bed, shower with good water pressure.

This place may have been great once but that time was long ago. They say they are renovating but I think that may have been a euphemism for “holding on too long to a crumbled relic and still expecting people to pay while the place basically falls down around the guests”. The guy behind the counter did his best, with his tissue box webcam holder and refrozen toast and mercifully we got out without the building falling on our heads. Future guests - Goodluck. Great location though - for a future demolition site!

Although part of place is in construction, the rooms thats open for public stay was clean and spacious. The place have their own vintage feels. TH he manager was kind enough to discuss to future of place and walk around the current place. Bit of tight car parking but we were lucky enough to get the car park right in front of our room. Looking forward to visit again

Very old worn out motel that needs some love. Some renovation work happening on the other side of the building made it noisy at times. The bed was comfy and the shower hot. The room was clean.
