Great room amenities - fridge, microwave oven, electric kettle, and TV. Also, it is in a good location, only about 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Grand Central Shopping Centre and not too far from Toowoomba Bus Station. It is also great value, and one of the best budget hotels I've stayed at in Toowoomba. I visit Toowoomba a few times a year to see family and friends, and I will definitely stay there again (glad I discovered it)!

It was basic but clean .it was in a good location. Nice and quite. Didnt see any staff. We had to ring to get keys and drop off keys in a box when we left. Overall good experience. Just a little weird that the motel was in a shopping complex. A good stay overall. They did clean the rooms and make the bed up everyday.
