Value for money, clean rooms, minutes from scenic world and bushwalking trails - with friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Clean room and quiet area. I found the bed quite hard. I booked this motel because it has a pool, (staying with kids ) but the pool area was unkept and the water was murky .

Stayed 2 nights mid week. No hot water after 1 shower first morning. Air cond struggled to warm room. Electric blankets not plugged-in, so had to get on hands and knees to fix. Rooms are generally run down. Not properly clean. Very dirty around bathroom window. Poor lighting and no heating in bathroom. Towels were like rags for washing the dog. A very long walk to Katoomba CBD. In room compendium way out of date.
