Do not stay here. It is not worth it at all. Filthy freezing and stunk
Pros:

Nothing. It was cold uninviting filthy. Stunk of cigarette smoke. Rubbish bins full and overflowing

Cons:

See above. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. A complete waste of money for what the photos and description states.

The hotel felt very unsafe, the toilets were dirty and the room had no heat with the window open mid
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The hotel felt very unsafe, the toilets were dirty and the room had no heat with the window open midwinter so it was freezing. And there was a man that appeared to be on meth or something of the sorts lurking near the women's bathroom and outside the hotel. We left the same evening and stayed somewhere safer and warmer. Overall not habitable.

Met hotel toowomba
Pros:

It was cheap

Cons:

The bed was hard and the springs were lumpy, the hot water system was uncontrollable in the shower, although there was an additional blanket it was too thin and we were cold. The bed was too low it was a struggle getting out of bed from a sitting position for an older person.
