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.

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.

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.
