What guests think

Across the reviews, Bowen Inn Motel is praised for very clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff, a convenient location near Lithgow and the Blue Mountains, and easy parking directly outside rooms.

Many guests found it quiet despite the nearby highway and appreciated in-room comforts like strong heating, electric blankets, and occasional microwaves. The on-site restaurant is frequently enjoyed for dinner and breakfast, though it was sometimes closed, and a few reviewers noted dated furnishings, access or signage confusion, hard-to-enter spa-bath showers, or isolated Wi-Fi, TV, or AC issues. A practical choice for an easy, comfortable stopover in the Lithgow–Blue Mountains area.

Beautiful property and clean rooms. Management unhelpful and no communication when for instance restaurant was suddenly closed the whole weekend and no other options in walking distance. Had to take Cabs in order to have a meal. Continental breakfast definitely not in line with a four star hotel

Our one-night stay at Bowen Inn Motel was very comfortable. Check-in was seamless and the staff was very friendly without being intrusive. There was a dedicated parking lot right in front of our room. Our room was clean and very spacious for 3 people. Wifi worked well and the room amenities were plenty. Overall very satisfied with our stay and would recommend this motel to anyone visiting the area.

Very nice large room, comfy bed. BUT no TV we could not get out of foxtel . No toaster or any cutlery, so couldn't get our own b;fast. TRucks all night on the highway. Huge spa bath which I,m sure I didn't ask for, we are elderly & had a big step over the bath for shower. Not easy either to find the entry !! we had to turn around on the h'way twice to find it. Quite expensive a s well wont be back..

There was no check in, they just left a key under the mat outside the door. Bathroom had hair on the floor. Pillows were really flat and the bed linens were really worn out and had a strong perfume smell to them. I’m not sure if that was because they weren’t clean or the soap they use.
