The rooms were clean and very comfy at close to the city of Toowoomba staff for great very easy to check in. We had a good time.

Great room amenities - fridge, microwave oven, electric kettle, and TV. Also, it is in a good location, only about 15 to 20 minutes' walk from Grand Central Shopping Centre and not too far from Toowoomba Bus Station. It is also great value, and one of the best budget hotels I've stayed at in Toowoomba. I visit Toowoomba a few times a year to see family and friends, and I will definitely stay there again (glad I discovered it)!

Stayed at Downs Motel, Toowoomba. The location was great and convenient. However, the room condition was quite disappointing – no lock on the toilet door and overall maintenance felt below standard. The room was reasonably clean, but not up to the mark expected. Definitely an area for improvement

Room # 5 (one of three economy rooms, cheap and nasty) - I took my socks off and the carpet was sticky! Obviously the staff are cleaning the rooms with their shoes on otherwise they'd feel it too. Staff also knocked on my door just after 9AM 'to see if I was still there' even though the instructions are to put your key in the key box when you leave so they can commence cleaning then! Got stuck in the bathroom briefly because the sliding door just got stuck. It wasn't value for money at all. I paid about $ 112 for each night. I had significant amount of rubbish but there was no council sized bins around that I could see. Only a small tiny bin in the room. There was nothing in the fridge besides a unbranded glass jar that read on a label made by a label maker "fresh milk". No ice tray, no anything! The fridge also needed defrosting. Everything worked but didn't work well. There was only one bathmat, one face washer and one hand towel but two towels. Made no sense. I asked for a non smoking room and a high room. I got a room with a no smoking sticker on the window but out of all the roofs, mine was the only one with a beautiful big fat ash tray on the trouble outside my door and I never got a high room, ground floor it was. Wouldn't recommend the motel to anyone.
