Essentially this motel is maintained to the bare basics and has not seen any level of update in many many years. Our room hairdyer has no tag and test label, some of the PowerPoints were cabled without conduit, other outlets were cracked and in poor condition. Two of the power outlets were unable to function due to placement of a built in benchtop. Our first night we returned to cockroaches crawling across bedroom floor, we had been left with an insect spray in the aged bathroom and addressed this ourselves. There is inadequate ventilation in the bathroom, without an exhaust fan the only option is to open an external window in 2oC temperatures and below in the mountains. The rooms are not made up daily, which was ok for us but may not suit others. The external building had gutters filled to overflowing, and gardens untended showing property maintenance is at the bare minimum. The property is inexpensive which was a bonus, but a lot more could be done to improve the guest experience.

It was definitely a clean room, was disappointed with general condition of the outside of the hotel being rather run-down and sad, it definitely was in need of some TLC. Also not a good look to stack laundry bags near the outside wall of our room (at least a dozen).
Shower wasn't great due to water pressure, either scorching hot or freezing cold.
As I said was very clean and tidy inside and comfortable.

Very disappointing stay. The whole place was rundown. We had three rooms for two nights. They all stank – two of terrible damp and one of urine. One room didn’t have any towels. The shower cubicle door didn’t close. No attempt was made to apologise for the shortcomings but I was given some air freshener! I tried to get towels for our room but the office was shut until 9 am and the Emergency phone messaging service was full so I couldn’t leave a message! If there had been an emergency, I don’t know how this venue would have coped

Unfortunately the WiFi didn't work well for my Zoom meeting.
also, because I am unable to carry anything of any weight, i found the unloading of my luggage difficult because the car park was higher than the entrance to the unit. I couldn't wheel my case because of the pebbles on the car park surface. But this would not be a problem for others, just me with my back problem.
The room was fine otherwise.

When I walked into reception to collect the key on arrival, it smelt like B.O. The outside of the property is very unkept, with overgrown weeds as well as leaves and other debris. The big garbage bins are in the driveway and there is rubbish in places as well as part of the fence broken where you can see into the neighbouring propert. We walked into our room and could immediately see that the beds were old and sunken. There were lights not working. The curtains looked like they’ve never been washed and were hanging off the rod in places. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and dust throughout. The photos look great and I’m sure it was a beautiful motel in its day, however its day was long long ago and it is in desperate need of a complete overhaul and some TLC. We won’t be staying again

As others have said a very old and poorly kept cheap motel. Clearly owners are attempting to make it comfortable, but it’s rather old and dilapidated and needs some serious renovations. Tap in the bathroom leaks, the shower was poor, Aircon old and poor quality, and lots of old broken timber.

Some positives include the TV was fine, it’s a great location walking distance to cafe, shops and pub in Blackheath, and the price is right. It’s not terrible, but only ok if looking for something cheap. I left a day early. 2.5 stars.

The property is very dilapidated and looks untidy externally as well as needing some major work inside. I had a delux room and curtains were hanging of windows in disrepair, gardens unkept and a general appearance of untidy. I did have clean linen however many areas were dusty in the room on sideboards in main wardrobe and around doors and windows. Having no opportunity for any food source was not advantageous. I had stayed at the same place 48 years ago and I am saddened to say nothing had really changed except the disrepair. I was very surprised to see in the office it had been given 4 stars by what if and one the award for 2923 and 2023 not sure why. Probably use it as a last resort would. be my advice and Wotif.com you need to review your rating. ☹️☹️

It’s an older property with awkward parking spaces to get in and out of.

That said, there is a microwave and toaster; and I’m sure the polite staff would have offered more services had we asked.

Not a peaceful mountain retreat

Excellent hosts but unfortunately i had little sleep. The motel is located on a very busy highway, which also has a very busy railway line next to it. The chalets have single glazing which meant the roar of traffic and trains was mafnificent! I had to pop in my noise cancelling ear buds in the end which was not particularly comfortable to sleep in. If you are not bothered by road and rail noise then this motel is well located. Not really any need for the 8 notices taped to the room either, everything from telling you what can be placed in the toilet through to warnings not to leave lights on when not in room.

Great Place to Stay in Blackheath

Blackheath is the best place to stay when visiting the Blue Mountains. It's less of a resort than Katoomba, and closer to more of the best trails. The motor lodge is my favourite place to stay. Comfortable, super friendly, and reasonably priced.
