Was pleasantly surprised by our stay. The room was spotlessly clean. Staff went out of their way to make our after hours arrival comfortable. Basic facilities but pretty happy with our stay given the very reasonable price.

The outside appearance is questionable however, we were very pleasantly surprised by the room itself. Quite well appointed and with a very comfortable bed, we would recommend this property. And....you get a jug of REAL milk on check-in! Very happy 😊

No air-conditioning...no racks for luggage...Toowoomba at this time of year is quite cool. Location was acceptable - no amenities (such as breakfast etc) I would never stay there again - that is 100% certainty.

Top little spot in Toowoomba
Lovely friendly welcome at the front office and the room was very clean and pleasant, although in the process of an upgrade, ie new lamps didn't have bulbs in them yet and old pillows were stacked on chairs outside rooms. The shower was awesome! Great water pressure.

Response from Amanda on 18 Mar 2018
Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to let us know how your stay was with us. We did just renovate that room and the bulbs that go into the lamps had not arrived however we have put in bulbs that don't look great but do the job and the pillows should have been moved so again apologies for that. Not a normal thing for us but as mentioned room was just completed. So glad the rest of your experience was great. We do have great water pressure due to it being an older building which is why the renovation was a necessity and we are nearly finished most rooms. Safe travels and see you on your next visit.

PLEASANT
WELL APPOINTED MOTEL WITH USUAL FEATURES PLUS LOUNGE TO RELAX AND/OR VIEW TV IN COMFORT. A LITTLE OUT OF CITY AREA BUT IN NICE LOCATION. STRANGE ARRANGEMENT FOR MEALS - ONLY AVAILABLE MONDAY TO THURSDAY. AS WE WERE THERE SATURDAY TO MONDAY THIS WAS NOT CONVENIENT AS THERE WAS LITTLE AVAILABLE NEARBY. HOWEVER, MICROWAVE WAS INCLUDED IN FACILITIES.

Handy place to stay
This motel is reasonably priced, near the range end of Margaret Street, which makes it quite close to city and cafes. Our room was clean with a comfortable bed and the staff were pleasant. On the negative side, I would have loved earplugs as I am sensitive to outside noise and the road noise made it difficult for me to sleep, but not so my husband. There's a microwave, toaster, kettle and they give you fresh milk, which is a bonus to me.

Lovely motel
I booked the motel at last minute as was bringing husband home from operation in Brisbane and didn't want to make him sit in car all the way (6 hours) so broke the journey. I rang motel and they told me I could book in early at 12pm which we did. They had had a problem with delivery of sheets that day but still let us into the room so husband could lie down on couch. Couldn't do enough for us. Thank you.

Hidden gem
Stayed at this motel last week. It was a terrific find. For anyone visiting Toowoomba, I would highly recommend it. It's a small motel with excellent rooms. Everything was clean, tidy and I was very impressed with the room furnishing. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a good nights sleep. Above all the owners were extremely helpful, and to be offered a jug of fresh milk for my coffee was something I didn't expect. A nice touch for tired travellers. The parking is safe and secure. This motel is well placed,close to all amenities and to the range so that travelling is easy.

Nicely surprised by the big spacious room, very warm and inviting. The free wi-fi was a great addition, and allowed us to keep in touch. Close to a beautiful park and a very pleasant 15 to 20 minute walk to some great eateries. Amanda and Trent were gracious and offered assistance when it was asked for. Will certainly stay here again.

Thank you so much for taking time out to let us know how you enjoyed your stay. And we are so glad that you did. We will look into the snack situation although in the past Trent & the kids end up eating the chocolates & chips. I may have to get a lock up snack box to control them.

Positives: walking distance to town and Queens Park; staff lovely and helpful; peaceful location Negatives: room smelt like a cinema (that cross between urine and deodoriser smell); not good if you are an asthmatic; needs a reno
Response from General Manager on 4 Nov 2016
We appreciate you taking the time to review us. We have been renovating our rooms and the king rooms are fully renovated and the rest of the rooms are being completed. Our rooms are a really well priced and we really do try to go above and beyond which you have mentioned and thank you for that as our guests are very important to us and we hope that you will come back and try our newly renovated rooms. Maybe the deodoriser mixed in with the cleaning products caused the issue and did not agree with you as we had being trying different products. Thank you again we do really appreciate your feedback.
