Sky Rider Motor Inn

Eh. It's was fine. What you would expect from a budget accommodation. But felt the price was high for the quality. I elected to pay on arrival but the company tried to debit my account before check in time regardless. They called me 2 hours before their check in time to request payment. I missed the call and was told on arrival (at about 2pm) that they had tried to debit my account and called me about same. The beds and pillows were dense. Not comfortable. I like a firm mattress but these had no give. The room was basic level clean. More tidy then clean. Dust build up on light switches and decorative wall panels. But clean sheets and main surfaces. The shower was a mix of rusty and mouldy edges. But the water pressure and heat was heaven. The pool was cloudy but like they were attempting to clean it after a long period of neglect. Which makes sense from other reviews I have read. If I came to the area again I would try different accommodation.

Always clean and manager very attentive

It was the worst check in experience we have ever had. We tried to check in early as we were just off a cruise, even just leave our stuff so we could go for lunch but our booking was unable to be found then we were told it was under a different name! Not ours ! Eventually the booking was found and the expression "'my bad" was muttered by the receptionist. We are still waiting on an apology. The pool was like pea soup and we didn't think it was safe to swim in. The room was clean and spacious for 5 and the water pressure was good. It was so hot when we were there and so disappointed we couldn't swim, the motel having a pool was one of the reasons we booked it.

Basic clean room polite staff

We enjoyed our stay at Sky rider motor inn, We feel welcomed at arrival and we had a special request which has been served so we appreciate the service.Their family room is good option for 3 adults and with 2 infants and also budget friendly and easy access to attractions nearby.

Room was clean and bathroom was spotless - but the room is poorly lit. For one night it was a decent night sleep but personally wouldn’t stay any longer than that.

Room was dated, smelled mouldy and presence of mould could be observed on the walls. Other than that, it was okay.

Room in reasonable condition ! Servicing of room very ordinary ! Pool area needs cleaning and attention, very uninviting !

Great

Great rate, not too far out of town and our kids loved the board games available in the reception to borrow

Staff friendly and room clean and tidy. All we needed for a stopover

The room was clean, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Great location. Grewt price for a Sat night in between Xmas and New Years.

Budget motel, clean room & bathroom, good wifi & good amenities (plenty of towels etc). Nice & pleasant staff, close to the main road but not too close (you can’t hear any traffic & it’s pretty quiet)

Sky Rider is a basic motel that is very clean and well maintained. Its location is not convenient if you prefer to be able to walk to local restaurants and attractions. This is particularly of concern as parking in Katoomba is at a premium and the steep streets make walking any distance challenging for anyone with mobility limitations. The motel advertised having a laundry facility but the only dryer was out of service while we were there. I've tried to add photos however Expedia puts some sort of size limit on them but doesn't specify what that is.

Okay but nothing special. Pool needs cleaning to remove duck poop

We found our room modern and very clean. Staff were very welcoming.

10/10 we enjoyed our stay thanls

It was a last minute booking and there were not many options left within my budget. I was happy to be leaving in the end and I definitely won’t stay here again.

Stayed at this motor inn and couldn’t be happier! The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, making for a very relaxing stay. The staff were absolutely lovely—friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. The location was perfect too, close to everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient place to stay
