Wish we had stayed there more nights! An extremely cheap motel to stay in - very popular and many were staying there. It felt safe and clean. The bathroom probably needs updating with some calcification on the edges but it was well maintained and clean overall. Free wifi was a blessing as the local cellular network was patchy for us. Great for families - we had one queen bed and two single beds. Met the owner or manager - she was very personable and extremely nice, you could tell she was proud of the place. We stayed on a Saturday so couldn’t experience their food - wish it had operated all 7 days! Thank you.

Mould in the bathroom is not just unsightly it has the potential to be damaging to your health. Poor cleaning practices are becoming all too common in motels. There realy needs to be a review of practices and training in this area, It seems owners think just keeping the job with a relative to keep costs down. It just lowers the standard. Two star motel!

A map of Toowoomba that you can take with you would be helpful. There was a small map in folder but you couldn’t take with you while out and about. Also a small but useful would be a few toothpicks which you wouldn’t think to bring with you. I’m not complaining just suggesting. Thanks for a great stay
