Altair Motel

A wonderfully clean, comfortable and well thought out motel room - we had number 14 (larger than others). Quiet off-street parking outside our door. Marvellous elevated area in centre courtyard with lounges and bbq overlooking the hills - perfect for our late afternoon wine and nibbles. Their restaurant only open certain nights we stayed on a Tuesday. Very central for food, good coffee and provisions (Coles) just a walk down the street - also pub did nice usual pub dinner with bonus of a small group playing traditional Irish music - great stuff! When visiting must see Cooma Car Club and Snowy Hydro visitors centre - fascinating.

I was responsible for organising a get-together of touring motorcyclists from SA, Vic, NSW, Qld and the ACT where I live. Riding the sinewy roads of the Snowy Mountains was our objective, Cooma was our base. I did a recce of several motels in Cooma and chose the Altair because it met numerous of our requirements: comfortable rooms, very good off street parking for our bikes, away from prying eyes; located within a short walking distance to places to eat & drink, good coffee and supermarkets; an excellent centrally located, raised, covered veranda for socialising when we weren't riding; a very welcome group discount on our room rates. Friendly staff, from the front office to the team of cleaners. All in all, a great experience.

Very friendly and attentive. Comfortable room and bed This is where I'll be staying when overnighting in Cooma The rooms have had a recent refreshing and whist there was a couple of minor issues (I'm a bit pedantic), they were taken on board and shall likely be remedied promptly.

I have stayed here multiple times while working and have had family stay with me - that means I've tried many rooms at quiet and peak times. The rooms are always spotless with cleaning staff ready to go above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Super friendly owners - I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
