"Check-in was a joke. Called early in morning to ensure an easy process for 11:00 pm. Was never sent code and spent 30 minutes in pouring rain trying to get someone to let me in."

"I recently stayed (1 night) at the property in a studio apartment. The apartment included a queen bed, sofa, small dining table and kitchenette with a separate area for shower, basin and toilet. The location suited me as I was going out to the Speedway in Charlton and have everything I needed. Reception provided me with an early Check-in as I needed to be out at the speedway around lunchtime. (Pre organised via an email to the motel). Would suit someone that needed to go or visit the Toowoomba Hospital which is located behind the motel with a gate access to the hospital via the back of the property (use your swipe card) The motel has a pool, gym, guest laundry, restaurant and recreational room (pool table and darts available) plus a conference room area and bbq area. Although I didn’t have the availability to use any of these facilities they all looked clean and tidy. Car parking is non allocated but I was able to park next to my room. The front windows of the room are tinted for privacy. Reverse cycle airconditioning worked fine during my stay. It was great to have the use of a small but full fridge in the room rather than a normal bar fridge which would make it great for longer stays. There are also larger apartments available for families too. The apartment was well priced I thought and the staff friendly and accommodating. Will stay again on my next visit to Toowoomba. "

"I received a $15 Golf credit but aside from being there for business, I don't play golf. I discount off a meal would have benefitted me better, but aside from that and hard to access minimal power outlets for charging my devices, it was a clean, spacious, comfortable room etc. The gap under the door to my room was quite big and a cold draft and leaves etc blew in. I rolled up a towell to block it, but given it gets quite cold in Toowoomba - maybe having draft stoppers in each room would be an idea?"
