Terrible motel in blue mountain
Absolutely no service from front desk. Seems unfriendly and unwelcoming. Plenty of parking partly the motel is totally no busy and likely only us as their guest. Can tell why.. low seasons and poor service. Our room is at second floor. There is no toilet amenities. Toilet is small. Overall the precise condition is just old. Morning breakfast is just simple. No hot food at all especially cold winter. Cannot expect much from free breakfast included. Everything is self-service.

Weekend away.
This is an old style building but could use some TLC. Very rundown and needs a good clean. Beds were passable but nothing special. Rooms had good heating. Lady at the service counter when checking in did not want to be there and felt more of an hindrance to her. There is approx 7 car spots for all those rooms so be prepared to park on the street.

The cottage was lovely and suited our family well, the continental breakfast was limited but fine. Needs more outdoor lighting to see at night, maybe clear the moss as very slippery.

The air condition unit in our room did not work. After 2 hours of us attempting to get the unit to work (in a room that was VERY cold due to the prevailing ambient conditions in Katoomba) ...I mentioned this concern to the reception staff member, and we were relocated to another room where the air condition unit did work. Our concern is that the reception staff did not apologise for our inconvenience, nor provide service with a smile. We were made to feel like we were a burden to the reception staff member. A smile costs nothing, and is so welcoming to a customer...

Poor parking very limited had to park way away up the road in the street away from motel. The blind in the window in the room does not fully cover the side of the window near bed and lets the sun beam in early so couldn’t sleep in.

A very cold night.
Air conditioning wasn’t working, there was a note from management provided and a little fan… Doesn’t help when it’s cold at night, and heating was required. Won’t stay there again.

Excellent location, easy walk to town & longer walk to Echo Point and escarpment tracks. RSL across the road, good for easy dinners. An old style affordable hotel, providing the basics. A plus is the good continental breakfast included in price, so it’s easy to head off to explore the area.
