There was no wifi in my room although not really a problem but inconvenient. Also the toilet seat squeaked when you sat on it.and people over 60 yrs getting into the shower would be a problem when you have to llift your leg to get in.

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..

One of the better motels in Lithgow.

Great spot with a very nice restaurant and lounge area with an open fire. Room was very clean, comfy bed and car was not visible from the road. Close to the highway but didn’t hear anything at night with the doors closed. Would stay here again for sure.

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.
