Good location, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast”

I stayed at the Downs for one night whilst visiting my elderly father who was admitted to the Toowoomba General Hospital. The Downs is only a 5 minute drive from the hospital. Although it can be a little noisy at night because it is located on a major thoroughfare, it is situated close to the CBD which offers many dining options, is very clean and comfortable and has a great breakfast at reasonable prices.

Friendliest service of the whole trip”

Good location, good breakfast

Downs Motel is somewhat oddly situated, in the middle of a bunch of shops off a main road - but this means you're removed from through-traffic and the rooms are nice and quiet overnight. We stayed in one of the non-refurbished rooms, and it was a perfectly adequate motel room. It was very clean, if a little dark, and the bed was comfortable. The host and hostess were extremely friendly - you get a free drink on arrival from the fridge at reception, and a choice of bacon and eggs or pancakes for breakfast, which is delivered to your room between I think 6-7.30am the next morning. We opted for one of each, it was extremely good and it set us up for our next day of travel. Not so sure what this place would be like for a week if you were staying in the area, but we were driving from Victoria to Townsville and it was definitely one of the better places we stayed.

Great motel”

Great little motel, the owners are very welcoming. Would have stayed longer but had to keep disconnecting and reconnecting to wifi every 15 minutes. Not sure if it’s a data restriction on the wifi or may have just been a temporary fault that has already been resolved. I was just lazy and did not bother to ask. Very good value for money and close to town. I would stay there again for sure but would enquire about the wifi before doing so.

In a main street but very quiet and peaceful.

Greeted on arrival by the proprieter who was very friendly, caring and helpful. The room wasn't large and the ammenities were aging. However, everything was neat and clean. We were only staying a short time in Toowoomba and this little place fitted the bill perfectly.

Staff were great, room had all facilities including microwave

Its a very old motel and we booked a standard queen room. This hotel appears to be a budget motel so you get what you pay for. Regardless, the room was clean and had microwave as well as normal facilities. Car parking not allocated so we could not park near our room. Staff were great. It did state room service but this appeared to be for breakfast and not dinner. Went to the Sports Club which was great and only a short drive
