Whist this hotel had a nice quiet, comfortable room, which was maintained clean and tidy during my stay, it was inconvenient from the perspective of having to drive into Katoomba for food, meals, etc.

We stayed here for 5 nights with 2 Adults and 2 children. We enjoyed our stay. Here are pros and cons Pros: Staff/cleaners were super friendly Large car park outside of room Laundry facilities Room was clean Bathroom was modern DVD and games at reception Cons; Pool was cloudy Laundry dryer out of order Room smelt damp musky Shower door would not close properly unless pushed hard DVD player not working Some lights not working in room Don’t serve breakfast Front passage ways/walkways around rooms could use a clean as there is a build up of rubbish/leaves and was not cleaned once in the whole time we were there.
