Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Quite rundown and very minimal furnishings. Front desk people were fine and courteous. the location was just fine for what we were choosing to do (walk around your state grounds). The p rice was fine for what we got, Age and deteriorated rooms are the problem with this facility. It wouldnt take a lot to add a bit of sparkle and get rid of the musty smells.

Good location, walking distance to Echo point. Family room was good size (1 queen, 2 singles) and included a table with 4 chairs. Decor is quite dated and could do with a spruce up, but many Katoomba hotels are similar. Bathroom clean and good shower. Fridge needed a defrost and clean.
