“This is one of the nicest pet friendly places we have ever stayed. The rooms are immaculate and well maintained, as well as being fully equipped and a great size. The business is professionally run and Ian and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend staying here - an absolute steal for the price!”
“We made a last minute reservation as we were too tired to continue driving for the night. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was to die for. Rooms were quiet and dark. We left feeling well rested and human again. Definitely reccomend a stay here, whether it's for a quick overnight rest of for longer.”
“For a budget motel the Alabaster exceeded expectations. I normally avoid anything less than 4 stars but I will certainly stay here again and highly recommend it. No floral bedspreads! Very clean and fresh rooms, linen and bathrooms.”
“A lovely clean motel. The proprietor Ian also providing dinners at request. It was great to be able to relax with a delicious meal in our room without going out after a long day on the road. We also were provided breakfast boxes for the morning with juice, milk, cereal and a muesli bar. An ample start to the day. Very convenient.”
“I regularly choose to stay at econo lodge alabaster for many reasons. Firstly Ian the owner/operator is always welcoming, cheerful, and accomadating. He makes me feel like I'm returning home. The room always feels clean and the bed is comfy. There are electric blankets on the bed for those cold nights and the view of the sunrise out my front door over the beautiful country hills is always a marvellous way to greet the day. On hot days I love dipping in the pool and lying on the sunbed reading a book. I love that the car space has a roof to protect my car from the elements. It is also in a great location across the road from the cowra scenic train ride that runs the last weekend of the month. It's an awesome way to step back in time on the old train. It's also close to shops, supermarkets, pubs and clubs and of course the beautiful Cowra Japanese gardens and POW camp. I love having a night or two at Econo Lodge Alabaster in Cowra when staying with family, it gives me a chance to rest, relax and recharge, also it has foxtel to vege out on. Thank you Ian for always taking care of me.”
