Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Just that the room was ‘dated and old’ some power points didn’t work, bathroom vanity was chipped/cracked/water damaged, a strange ‘sewerage’ smell in the bathroom. Large sheet of ply lifting/broken outside the door on roof, as if a truck had damaged it, and hadn’t been repaired. The room wasn’t ‘dirty’ as such, but really did need an overall upgrade to modernise it. Good location central to a lot of services in Toowoomba.

Jewel of a motel

We stay at the Downs often as it is very convenient to the CBD, has plenty of parking inside & out, very obliging owner. It is great value & is one of the cleanest motels we have stayed in for its age. Comfy bed, excellent shower & the list goes on.
