    Pros +

    • Easy and convenient for 1 night. Accommodating staff.
    • Helpful friendly service.Good communication. Basic accommodation but had all required for an overnight stay including microwave, basic breakfast included. My request for a late check-out was cheerily agreed. Location suited my purpose for being in Toowoomba and is on the main road through town so handy for travellers needing a clean and welcoming overnight stopover.
    • breakfast looked ok but I am more “big breakfast”person.Parking and access were excellent.I would stay there again.

    Cons -

    • Not a suitable environment for kids, lots of drinking and smoking outside the rooms.
    • I found the bed quite hard and uncomfortable. Would benefit from a topper to give some softness. As a result slept quite badly. Also it was impossible to turn the bedside lights completely off ?‍♀️ they emitted a low level light all night that with a number of other standby lights further added to my poor night’s sleep. Also the pool closed at 6pm which is a bit early in summer and on a very hot day.
    • Obviously being on Ruthven, it was slightly noisy, but the kind agent gave us a room toward the back.

    Price and location. Bed was good.

    Obviously being on Ruthven, it was slightly noisy, but the kind agent gave us a room toward the back.

    Great location and fairly quiet ass you will hear ambulance and other services going. Not often. Check in was ok. The man doing it was very brusque so maybe he was having a bad day. Otherwise everyone else was friendly.

    Check

    10EricaPosted on: 9-23-2025

    The rooms were clean and neat and very good value, especially with the free breakfast.

    7MargaretPosted on: 9-22-2025

    nice quiet revese cycle air-conditioning, older motel but very clean and neat, comfortable beds.

    Room 7 ensuite door didn't quite click shut. But venue was good value, quiet room, easy parking right outside the door, close enough to town centre to walk to Parks, cafes, shops, but not so close to be disrupted. Clean, good air-con, comfy bed. Met our needs well for a quiet low key economical weekend away, with a chinese restaurant 100m away for easy dinner.

    Location was good. Breakfast was great, just what you need, and in a lovely dining room. Extremely clean and the staff were very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Also a great price. Would definitely stay again.

    Only problem was the traffic noise. Next time I'll ask to sleep down the back.

    The light breakfast is ideal for people like us who just want coffee, cereal & toast, others might want more, but it is very convenient

    We have stayed here on a previous occasion & everyone was very friendly & helpful so when we had a family funeral to attend we not only chose to stay again but encouraged family members to book there too. Unfortunately our first experience at Reception was not pleasant. I asked if he was able to tell me the best way to exit Greyhound Bus Terminal, my Google search was not clear to me and we were picking up family who’d travelled from Newcastle. He retorted that he didn’t have a clue! He’d been there only 4 weeks & hadn’t been past the driveway entrance! His manner was bordering on rudeness during our check in procedure.

    Very friendly reception staff on arrival. Rooms very clean and comfortable and I liked the hard floors rather than carpet. Bathroom was also very clean. The included breakfast was ideal for the stay.

    9BeverleyPosted on: 7-29-2025

    We booked an Executive Suite, and the suite was lovely and clean and spacious.My husband and I were very happy with the free continental breakfast and enjoyed eating it in the pretty dining area provided.

    We have nothing to fault with our stay

    5Mohd L.Posted on: 7-19-2025

    Clean and comfortable

    The staff manning the reception was really cold and unfriendly

    7HughesPosted on: 7-12-2025

    very handy location, for a good selection of continental breakfast.

    bigger area to move around.

    very friendly staff room was very clean Craig new owner very friendly and helpful

    9WatsonPosted on: 7-8-2025

    Lovely and clean. Air conditioner quiet. Mattress I could have bought home with me.

    Microwave that you had to get down from a fairly high cupboard to use. Dangerous I thought when only one of you and the "you" is a bit elderly ?Should be a shelf in the shower for shampoo etc.

    8GabriellePosted on: 7-1-2025

    Super comfortable and affordable stay! Was easily accessible and nice and tidy ?

    10ShalonPosted on: 6-25-2025

    A lovely Motel, very clean and in a great position, close to the center of Toowoomba. Light breakfast included which is very thoughtful for people who are generally on the road or passing through this town. Beautiful Chinese restaurant across the road, food was superb.

    10AllanPosted on: 6-7-2025

    There was a slight smell of bleach, but that means the room was clean, clean. Very nice. More than that, the aircon was clean and had NO mould. Thank you so much.
