Pros:

Good quiet location and good value for money compared to anything else in Thredbo, especially when all you care about is some sleep and a morning shower.
Breakfast was very basic but fills you for the day.
Bonus points for a decent ground coffee machine.

Cons:

Low season services are non-existent when Thredbo looks like a ghost town. We were probably the only people around staying beyond the weekend, hence breakfast area was closed. We figured that will likely be the case as we got bread, milk, musli and a toaster the night before...but without a single notice as to what we should expect the next morning.

Won’t bother coming back.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Indicated king bed through booking.com. Then received email from the Inn asking what bed, warning that failure to respond results in two singles. So I indicated for the second time for king bed. Arrived to a room with two singles. 4pm check in is too late and unreasonable. Paint feeling of window sills and generally poorly maintained.
