      Clean and good value!”

      I had to stay close to my partner who is in at Toowoomba hospital for a procedure at the moment, this were the best for value and location as I'm not from Toowoomba I get lost easy. I got quite a shock, arriving to a very fresh, and spacious room and the staff are so friendly even though I was meant to leave at 10 this morning, my partner's procedure got pushed back so I asked if I could stay another night in the same room and they were so accommodating.

      We stayed here as a family of four, and very happy with our stay. We spent most of the day sight seeing and relaxed in the room of an evening watching tv. The kids were thrilled with having their own tv and wi fi in our two bedroom suite. Friendly owners, easy check in/out, and a selection of drinks etc in the office. We didn’t order off the room service menu, however looks good, and will try next time. Will definitely book again.

      Great stay”

      Good location, especially if you have friends/relatives in the Toowoomba Base Hospital. Reasonably close to the centre of town and easy access to major roads east, west, north and south. Clean, comfortable and great staff. We think it rates 9.6.

      Excellent, easy access, comfortable bed, friendly”

      Comfy bed, easy access from car, good room size, friendly staff,

      Excellent. Bed was best so far, access is easy. We always choose to stay here when in Toowoomba. Third time now and always been excellent. On the negative and I don't know if this could be improved but the shower taps are really difficult to maintain constant temperature of water and with a disabled hand difficult to turn and they're in an awkward spot where you have to be under the shower to turn the tap on. Our only minor issue. Otherwise comfortable, practical and friendly.
