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.

Everything worked as it should have. I didn't try the air conditioning. The bed was comfortable. The check in was easy, the receptionist knew I was arriving late and that was not a problem. The motel was a walkable distance from town. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again if the price was right.
