Overnight stay only and very suitable for that purpose. Clean and comfortable. Heating works well - essential this time of year. Room quite small but not an issue for a single traveller. Set back from road so no traffic noise.

We’ve stayed in Cooma a number of times but this was our first time staying at Altair - it’s definitely our favourite, and we’ll definitely be back! Great location; great sized rooms; well-appointed kitchenette; friendly hosts; and we got to enjoy some of the fireworks from the Cooma Show

Loved being able to reverse park right up to the room door and unpack. Rooms were lovely and clean. Only negative is we could hear the room next to us talking/snoring but I guess that’s to be expected when all the rooms are adjoined.

Great location. Very short walk to The Lott for breakfast and Pha’s Thai for dinner. Neither of these are cheap options but both very nice meals. The Altair also has a cute shared cabana area for guests with a couple of outdoor gas heaters. Rooms are neat and tidy and bathrooms are newly renovated. Great option for an overnight stay for my family of 4.

Beautifull and clean rooms, great for families , very helpful staff. Always keen to assist with your queries. In such busy time this is one of the best affordable place . My friend paid same money in other motel in area where it was pet hair n stuff still exist. But Altair motel is one of the best place in Cooma. Recommended for all families. Safe and convenient to all facilities.
