Rooms were simple but new and very clean . Restaurant attached made it easy to get supper . My only complaint is that they charge you $30 extra for a service dog . Its the first hotel we have been to that charges extra for a service dog . As well , it was not written on the Expedia site that there was an extra charge . We were told upon check in

Great place.Close to Sydney.Reasonable rates.Super clean and comfortable room. Only minor issue I had was there was a good amount of old nails and screws on the ground by the office entrance.Scaffolding told me some renovations where taking place but the hazard of ending up with a flat was real.But again, other than that I would recommend Kow,s Inn to anyone anytime

No one was at the property upon arrival, even though I had a confirmed reservation a week prior. I called a number left for delivery drivers that was posted in the window, and they sent someone who arrived 10-15 minutes later. Once I got into the room they left, and I was alone at the property. The person opened the room and turned on the heat, as it was very cold. The room was dusty, with the previous persons phone charger still plugged in. There was a stain in the tub that I had to wash out. To get the room warm took hours, and the next morning when I took a shower, there was no water pressure, or hot water. Not a great experience, however, I would imagine once they are in their peak tourist season, these issues would not be in play.
