We required a hotel to stay overnight between Canberra & Paynesville (Victoria). We booked the Altair and were pleased with the cleanliness and friendly staff during our stay. Good location near the centre of town and walking distance to other amenities. Great breakfast in the morning had us ready to travel again on a full stomach. Highly recommend if accommodation required in Cooma.

Sent to a Different Hotel

Being a family of 5, we choose Wotif as we can select a room or rooms to suit our 2 adult, 3 kid family.
We perused the options on Wotif and chose specifically the Altair Motel based on it's rooms which looked comfortable.
On arrival, we were told the hotel had double booked!
We were sent to the Nebula Hotel after Altair took our booking.
All fine, no probs with the Nebula, BUT it was $15 less per night (as per Wotif) and we CHOSE to spend the $15 more for the Altair!!!!

Good parking. Nice outdoor area. Motel management are genuine, natural and very welcoming. Room is nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. Bathroom is 9 out of 10 (just needs a new tap cover plate).
Two things that were a little annoying - 1. No plates in the room and 2. The cleaner entered whilst I was having breakfast in the lobby well before checkout.
But very happy and will come back again.

Neat and clean.take body wash or soap with you.

Overall it's a good experience and nice place to relax after a long journey. There is no Soap to have a shower so had to do without it just using some conditional shampoo. Helpdesk or Reception is not available during Sunday mornings so no one to assist personally during that time. No regrets. I can definitely refer this place to my friends.

A lot to pay for a substandard motel in Cooma

Friday night in Cooma in ski season so clearly they can charge $260 and get away with anything. Nice enough couple. Unfinished renovations, appear to be doing it slowly themselves. Debris left everywhere, nails on driveway. No fridge (\"someone must have stolen it\"); they replaced it. Smelt like there was a plumbing problem in room. Fairly empty motel yet online said \"only one room left\".

Highly Disappointing

Myself and my wife and 2 children arrived at the motel from a week in Jindabyne to break the trip up on the way back to Sydney.
There were tradesmen all over the motel and it looked like more than 70% of the rooms were under refurbishment.
I checked in at Reception and was given a swipe card key to room #4.
When we went into the room we found that the bunk bed did not have any guard rails on it. This has been legislated as illegal since 2005. We approached the woman on reception and informed her that we were not staying in the room due to the safety issue of the bunk bed.
We were then shown to another room, only slightly larger, and told that this was a more expensive room than we had booked. Also it was a renovated room but had dust all over it from the refurbishments going on next to it. There was no wardrobe or place in the room to stow our bags so the small amount of free floor space was taken up by our bags.
The bathroom was brand new but its floor was sunken 10cm below the bedroom floor and hence constituted a tripping hazard which both I and my wife tripped on. The ceiling of the bathroom was covered in condensation as there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom and the bathroom window opened out into the main motel parking and thoroughfare so it was not viable ventilation source due to the privacy issue.
The final kicker was the \"new\" shower that when turned full on was only able to dribble water. The basin had great water pressure!

Honestly much better than expected!

To be honest, generally I look on motels as not the best of places to stay, comfort and facilities-wise, but I was very pleasantly surprised here! The room was a great size with an excellent lounge area with two large sofas and a large flatscreen TV. There was more than enough beds which were particularly comfortable and a good sized bathroom. Best part was everything was VERY clean and looking schmick. TWO wall-mounted aircon/heater units and a bar heater completed the great package.

Good stop over

I stopped at this motel as a half way point for myself and 3 kids. I was expecting to share a bed with one of the kids but when we arrived we were upgraded to a two bedroom unit at no extra cost. The reception lady was super friendly and helpful. The unit was very clean and suited us well for an overnight stay. I thought it was strange that for a large unit and a well equipped kitchenette, there was only one chair! This is why I have noted that is good for overnight or if you want to eat out (or sit on the floor). When we arrived the fridge wasn't turned on and I realised why later ... it was really noisy and I had to turn it off when we were trying to sleep. The heating was effective although after turning it off to sleep, I found the bed really cold and had to turn the heating back on ... could use an electric blanket to save the excess power.

Great country motel!

The owners are in the process of renovating and upgrading the motel at the time of my stay. Although my room was small (consistent with the age of the premises) the room and fittings were great. The renovations have made the rooms very nice and given them a definite \"new lease on life\"! The very nice lady that was at reception (I'm assuming owner) was fantastic. Very happy with my stay here.
