"Enjoyed my stay. I would book again. Beds are comfortable and the cleaning attendance is great. My only inconveniences were you couldn't really open the windows, except for the bathroom to get some fresh air. The fan didn't really turn off at "off" switch. I think the knobs have been switched. There is nowhere to hang your towels or clothes when taking a shower and there are 2x weird open screws on the walls. The bathroom mirror isn't for short people. I chuckled just seeing a glimpse of my forehead. Aside from that, I liked it and it was at a good location."

Katoomba Town Centre Motel

8/10 Good
"Although the room was dated and could use a bit of sprucing up, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, the kitchen was ample for making coffee and a quick breakfast. I was on the second floor and the steps up were shallow, making it easy to take luggage up and down. The hotel is located across the street from grocery stores and the shops/restaurants are just down the main street, all within walking distance."
