It was clean and convenient to all places. The signage at the front was not so good, hard to find and drove by it a couple of times when going back to it…. A grey sign with grey wall..not so good.

Kristina

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and tidy rooms with basic cooking and bathroom facilities. Motel is close to fast food outlets and a brief drive to a shopping centre. Unfortunately, the motel was fully booked which meant lots of noise. Between that and an uncomfortable mattress, it was very difficult to sleep. A fair place to stay for a night.

Place was clean and tidy and easy parking. Only downside was the aircon wasn't working to heat room and it was a chilly 4 degrees. The good news was there were lots of blankets and we were warm enough.

Great motel

Booked for an overnight stay prior to surgery. Friendly hosts. We had room #14. It was nicely appointed and had a spa bath. Had a cute little bottle of fresh milk in fridge which sadly is becoming rare. Close to several eateries...short walk. We would stay again. Affordably priced.

The location was good. Service was terrible. Reception was not open during regular hours. Early checkin was flatly denied even after a long drive. Fridge milk was opened. Blow flies coming in through a broken air vent were a major pest.

We stayed overnight in Toowoomba to break up a long drive. We arrived late and left early, so our stay was brief. The motel was suitable for what we needed though.

Alison

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room smelt terrible and was not clean, particularly the bathroom. The service was poor, milk and coffee not replaced from one day to the next. Noise from guests leaving at 4.30am woke me as the door didn’t even lock properly and I had to put a chair against the door… terrible experience and I paid for three nights.
