Guest Reviews
- Michael (8/5): Great staff and good breakfast, made this short stay work for us. Thanks. - Location was spot on for our trip. Quiet at night. Bed was a bit hard.
- Pamela (8/5): - Staff gave excellent service.
- Daniel (10/5): - It had everything we needed for the one night stay. Convenient location
- Katrina (3/5): Quick trip - The lady at reception was lovely and helpful Door lock was hard to open, Luke warm showers didn’t require any cold at all and lost pressure regularly, stain on the underlay coming through the sheets. When I rant earlier in the day to say we would be arriving late the man who answered was down right rude! We use to love staying here but will not be in the future!
- Julie (8/5): A good spot to stay if you need a good bed and bathroom for a night or two. I stayed on my own while doing errands aroun - Very close to the CBD A little tricky to access and head north, but not impossible
- Kathryn (1/5): - Nothing Nothing
- Bool (8/5): -
- Kerry (6/5): - Location Very dated
- Jake (1/5): - Stafff lied about accommodation availability, no room available and blatantly rude.
- David (9/5): - Room clean, bed comfortable Toilet not cleaned properly, had to clean it before use.
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Beck (6/5): - Friendly staff. Easy booking & check in. Location. Only 1 light in bathroom worked. No teatowel or dishcloth to wash/dry dishes. Mould around shower area. Broken floorboard on verandah that could cause an injury. No smoking in rooms but people Smoked on verandah....not impressed when you're in a room beside a smoker. No menu for b'fast that is advertised.
- Shane (8/5): -
- Yvette (4/5): - Easy drive in for a high clearance 4WD May be permant housing for some mental health persons.... Upon my arrival, a lady (tennent/guest) was verbally abusive toward me when I glanced at her. I spoke with an on site manager about it, he was new and had to seek support. Then at 4am she began yelling, swearing and cursing at the top of her voice in the car park, and started throwing things including plastic bottles, picking up and slamming down rubbish bins all whilst in her underwear. Others were yelling at her to shut the f...up. But that didn't work. A nice place, but I didn't feel particularly safe especially on my own at the time.
- Jodie (10/5): Easy and relaxed - The layout of the room was so functional
- Courtney (8/5): -
- Windsor (9/5): -
- Robert (9/5): -
- Grant (5/5): -
- STEPHANIE (7/5): Noisy, close to town - White linen and white towels - clean. Noisy. Shower has good water pressure. Limited parking within motel ground but plenty of parking by the shops outside The floor at the kitchenette area was sticky. Booked a family room for 4 but there were 3 cups, 3 plates, 3 mugs, 3 of everything.. Attention to details of booking lacking. The wall lights above the bed gives out a vibrating hum possibly from the air-conditioning of the nextdoor unit. Interrupted sleep due to thin walls, woken up by the noise of early risers talking and leaving.

- Jamie (10/5): - The housekeepers are affable. Joseph and Sandy are excellent to communicate with. The lighting in my bathroom staggers to be lit and I think there should be a light nearest to the bed in case you want to read a book or go to the toilet late at night.
- Martin (10/5): - Comfy, clean, quiet, roomy Parking was awkward
- Anne (10/5): Happy getaway - Easy walk to local shops, hospitals and shopping centres.. staff were polite and happy to assist. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Quiet even being on one of the main roads in south Toowoomba.
- MAURICE (10/5): Nice place to stay. - Communication with Staff was easy and helpful. On arrival the Desk Clerk was very cheerful and check in was quick, he advised us of the details for parking and breakfast menu, then suggested a place to dine that was in working distance as we had not yet had Dinner. The room could not be faulted and was spick and span and there was not Street noise being that it was on a main road. We have now found a great location to stay at as we often travel to Toowoomba for various things. We honestly believe that there is nothing we did not like.

- Mei (6/5): It got cold overnight and we didn’t have enough blankets. Otherwise the facilities was adequate. - A bistro was within walking distance to the motel on the first night. Toowoomba is a pretty city and we had a good day visiting the sights. Room was quite dark during the day. Toowoomba is known to get cold overnight and the first night got very cold. There was only a cellular blanket on the bed and we only managed to find a single bed blanket in the cupboard to cover a queen bed. We asked for additional blankets the next day and didn’t get it until very late in the day. Fortunalely the second overnight was not as cold.
