Great Location, needing renovation
Stayed 1 night, room was in need of renovation.
Bathroom had been tidied up with paint that was missing from tiles and walls.
Bed was comfortable until 2 people slept on it and both would roll to the middle. There was hardly any room to walk down sides of bed.
Curtains not block out, and do not fit windows properly, allowing street lights to shine in.
TV struggled with reception and aircon kept shutting off.
No water saving in practice - single flush toilet and no restriction on shower

My flights into Sydney changed and I arrived a day later than expected. They didnt make any effort to reimburse my room, even though I gave then the opportunity to resell it. There had been a storm and I was told there was no wifi becuse if it but al the other hotels in the area had wifi. I had to go and do my work in a different hotel during the day.

Convenient
Easy check-in/check-out, clean rooms, and even had a microwave in the room which we happily utilised. Beds were also comfortable. Would stay here again next time

3 day get away
Did not get the city view that was advertised on the hotels.com site. Jack the receptionist said that they do not have an upgraded room with a city view at all, which is falls advertising. Found a fly with maggots on my bed, on my first night, so requested to be transferred to another room which was granted and the receptionist gave the key without a word.
The room I was transferred to, was
more spacious and the shower drainage did not smell unlike the initial room.
Overall the rest of my stay was pretty good minus the initial hiccups.
Motel is minutes from the 3 sisters, bus stop right in front of the motel and hand made choc shop just around the corner.

The location of the motel is very convenient. It's situated a few minutes walk to the 3 sisters. The room was small but nice. The little fridge was noisy.

Ok for one night
Was ok. Not a very scenic view from our scenic view room. Bathroom door was noisy and woke the other person up each time, was hard to open. Very outdated, bed was average.

The rooms are a bit rustic, but clean and well appointed. The bed was super comfortable. The 686 bus line stops right out front in both directions so getting around was as simple as checking the Opal App for stop times. The location at Echo Point made for a nice morning walk to the Three Sisters before checkout.

Parking lines would be of great benefit It would help other patrons to park between lines instead of across or diagonal in 2 spaces. especially when the motel is near capacity.
It is comforting to know your vehicle is just outside instead of down the way or out on the street.
being winter it was also a bit cold in bed
