Clarendon Motel and Guesthouse

Price was good

Obviously the property is undergoing restoration, so it is difficult to rate at this time. I hope that when it is restored, it will be considerably better in surroundings than it is now, as it is in a dilapidated state with limited facilities.

We stayed here because it was convenient to shops. The condition of the motel is awful. Everything is old and dingy. The lights hardly provided enough light. The Rooms smell musty. The gentleman who ran it was helpful. He allowed us to change rooms because the bathroom tap was constantly dripping. I couldn’t recommend this motel. The only redeeming feature was that it was clean.

Worn out rooms, very musty smell.

I like the fact that, the property is located at a convenient, walkable distance. Quiet and Safe for guests.

I paid for the guesthouse but was put in the motel

Building is very old and dark. Not well maintained

Comfortable room at a fair price in a walkable area. Very close to a big club that does a cheap lunch (even on a Sunday). You could walk or take a short 5 minute drive to Katoomba central. Council parking rates are seriously expensive down at the Echo Point Lookout (3 Sisters). It is a fairly long hike there, but you can drive a k.m. down the road and find free parking, walk the extra 500m. That gives you time to take the free walks which are the true highlight of the area without wasting $20 per hour on council parking. Your other choice these days is the $70 fee per person to use the Scenic Skyway and Railway. No cheap family day in Katoomba doing that. It's good if you have spare money but there are other ways to enjoy your money. Keep this location in mind.

clean

Derek, staff member friendly person and very helpful. My toilet leaked and then after he fixed it, it wouldnt flush at all. It desperately needs painting and an area to hang washing in. It poured and there were wet clothing, shoes etc. but nowhere to put them.
