Our sheets were not changed at all, we stayed for 5 nights. The dishes were not cleaned on our second last day, I don’t think the vacuum was run through the place while we were staying there. The toilet was not cleaned. There were no forks in the pantry, only spoons and knives.

Large room, very comfortable bed and best shower I think I've ever had in a motel of this class. Recommended for an o/nite in Bowral.

The room was clean and looked like a typical motel room that may have undergone renovations. Location is great. My biggest complaint is the overpowering smell from the carpet. Not because the carpet was dirty but quite the opposite. It had that chemical smell associated with brand new carpet. Was way too strong and affected my ability to fall asleep as that’s all I could smell. The beds could do with an upgrade - felt like it sagged to the middle and was very squeaky every time I turned,

Pleasant spacious room. Adequate clean bathroom (could do with hand towel rail) A convenient route to the dining areas would have been good. As it is, at least some signage to each restaurant would help.
