Like many hotels/motels throughout Australia, the place seriously needs of a major upgrade. From the black industrial carpet to the dated and battered circa 1985 furniture - everything was well used and battered (and frankly dirty). No effort - no colour, everything grey and black accented by junk furniture. Dreary plastic signs telling guest what to do and not to do and a bed like soggy foam. An unsatisfactory accomodation in a good location that should try harder. Next visit, I'll go elsewhere.

Room was what we needed for a one night stay in Toowoomba; disappointed we couldn’t eat at the pub next door as it was fully booked. However it was an short walk into the town centre where we found a Sports Club to eat at.
Would have liked blinds that totally blocked out the light but otherwise room was clean, tidy and bed was comfortable - would stay again.
