Blue Mountains Gday Motel

Had a good stay here.   Being between the highway & railway we thought it would be noisier but it was fine.  I notice they have double windows on the rail side which probably helps.   Room was clean & a good size with microwave, plates & cutlery.  Parking was good too.

The motel location is along the highway just at the entrance towards the town. The motel is 2 storey, they gave us a free upgrade for 1 of the room which is nice. The wifi is not very stable as it connect and disconnected quite often. The room overall is OK and bed is comfy, toilet is a bit small though.

Rooms very basic however clean and big enough for families. great location.
Considering how long you are in rooms it was perfect. Beds comfy, a/c electric blankets.
Staff was friendly. Quiet location other than being on the main road. Close to shops and eateries.

Affordable Family Room with Good Facilities

It’s a tired motel but for $110 a night I wasn’t expecting a lot.

Pros- heater, electric blanket, decent shower pressure, microwave, fridge, self check in and out is simple, the price

Cons- location isn’t close to anything and lots of highway noise, bathroom is tinnnny and very hard to move in, wifi connection wasn’t strong enough to work, parking is free but there was scaffolding taking up three spaces outside our room so we had no where to park and had to wait until someone left to take their park as spaces are limited, very dimly lit room

Okay for the night

So what I was looking for was a nice little place to sleep with the family. 3 and a half stars should be just fine. When we arrived, staff were friendly and helpful. But unfortunately the state of the room was in a bit of disrepair (as per my photos). Main door looked like it was starting to disintegrate from ?water damage, as was the entertainment unit. The fridge was a bit banged up and the plug had been "fixed" with tape and silicone. And the reverse cycle air conditioner - wasn't reverse cycle (no matter what heat setting it was put on). Arrived on a cold, wet day - and the A/C just made it colder. Was warmer to leave it off. The kitchen/ bathroom-ish combo was something I hadn't seen before - but not a deal breaker. And the bed eventually sagged during the night (combined weight of partner and I approximately 170kg). There was also the issue of noise - good thing the kids were tired, with continual heavy vehicle noise coming from the front, and trains to the rear. But I could hardly say that was their fault - Just something to be aware of if staying there. Towels were nice and fluffy and there was hot water. I don't usually ask for much, but I'd happily give this place more of a 2 and a half stars.

Not quite what I was expecting

Found the facilities advertised not really match the reality.  Inside the room there is no wifi, no tissue box, no shower curtain, dirty fridge, kettle handle was sticky that need to clean before use, dirty carpet, bed linens with stains, pillows case and bedsheets were fine, blankets seems dusty and dirty that I didn’t use them, no internal phone to the reception, only 2 plastic clothes hanger, non-stop traffic noise as  windows and door have no sound insulation in place at all.  Sorry I won’t come back.

The room condition was disappointed

Stayed in this hotel for one night. Yes it was a decent price but you really do get what you pay for. The room was very tired and urgently needs redecorated. Housekeeping could be much better as it was quite unclean too. The carpet hadn’t been vacuumed for a while. There was hair, fluff and dust all over it. The bathroom was horrendous. After checking in, the bathroom was absolutely soaking with condensation and it was like that the whole time, even with the heating on. When I said heating, I mean a massive box on wall that is so noisy, won’t change temperature or fan speed and blows just lukewarm air. The traffic noise was quite bad all through the night, so not a lot of sleep was had. 

Positives was the electric blanket on the bed and plenty parking outside. 

Unfortunately I won’t stay there again.

Disappointing. Don’t expect much.

The name has changed -Blue Mountains Highway Motel, KATOOMBA. The photos do not represent the motel as it has considerably aged probably in the last two years of no travel !!
The rooms are clean and tidy but the toilet needs upgrading and better housekeeping.

Okay for an overnight stop

Needed a good clean with some elbow grease - would have made a huge difference to unit's presentation and guest comfort. Noise from highway was to be expected but from the fridge and aircon unit were not. Tatty edged towels also not necessary surely. 
**
Bed was comfy. Not to hard a walk into town (about 1.5km) - access for cars/taxi is a bit of a nightmare with the traffic lights and highway right outside but doable.

Tired and Disappointing - Management pictures from 2017 are not reflective of now

What’s the saying,” you get what you pay for” - this is a cheap hotel for the area so don’t expect much. Located between a main freeway and rail line, you have to expect it’s going to be noisy but throw in a dated air con, my hearing will never be the same. The bed was old and sunken in the middle and the shower was in need of a major makeover.
