Loved this motel! The management and staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, big and warm when we arrived and the bed was super comfy with an electric blanket! Restaurant and bar on site and easy access and parking. Highly recommended.

I booked the room based on queen bed but it was a double. We are very tall people so it was not comfortable. Had I known it was a double bed, I wouldn’t have booked this hotel.

For one night away it had all the amenities we could need. The bathroom could have done with a bit of updating as the toilet seat had marks from lots of use and the fan in the bathroom was very loud and needed replacing. Other than that the room was good for a night away and close to local food places and the Japanese dayspa.

We enjoyed our stay at the motel. Manager was extremely accommodating with our bedding request and moved us to a more suitable room. Very handy to have access to the laundry and dryer as we we there for 3 days. Would stay again. Lithgow is a very interesting place

High quality motel
The room was very spacious and comfortable. Only issue was the deep spa bath with shower over it. The glass screen and door made it inaccessible for us. I would definitely stay again just request a walk in shower.
