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.

The beds were comfortable & clean & the shower was a good size however, the rooms need to be updated & the towels were very thin & hard. The staff were lovely. Probably wouldn't stay there again.

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.
