Liked: Staff & service, amenities
we have stayed here a few times now but my last visit was not so great. Service was excellent but the room although clean everywhere but the ceiling. Mouldy ceiling, the room smelt damp and musty. Room 46 caused me to have irritated eyes, breathing and forced me to spend the night with the window open which made the room too cold. Eventually I slept in my car. I left early after hardly no sleep. Seriously this room needs immediate attention.

An easy to find comfortable place to stay . Bed very comfortable. The microwave very convenient especially when too wet to go out to eat. A nice clean cosy place to stay. So close to the Katoomba shops and attractions.

The property overall was was just run down and bad, although clean for the most part the ceiling was covered in what looked to be black mould and the whole room smelt of mould very strongly. The air-conditioning units filters looked as though they had not been cleaned in weeks and the bathroom overall was just a little grimey. The bed was clean and comfortable however the lingering mould smell made it hard to relax at all. The fold out couch was also very disappointing as the mattress was nothing but springs with a little fabric on top making for a very uncomfortable sleep. And the lack of overall lighting in the room was a little strange.

I was impressed by the quality of this motel. My room was spotlessly clean and nicely updated, with every convenience one would expect. A toaster was a nice touch. It's obvious the owners take pride in the upkeep of their property. I particularly like the convenience of literally parking at your front door at this traditional one level motel. No stairs to lug your luggage up to distant rooms. The motel is conveniently located with only a very short drive to Katoomba and Leura. As it's ocated off the main highway, it's quiet at night, with only light traffic on the nearby Old Bathurst Road. I found the staff friendly, efficient and welcoming. I noticed a large library of board games and DVDs in reception, which would be good for families. I would gladly stay at the Sky Rider again.
