The unit was very roomy. Beds were very comfortable.
It was very convenient to have meals delivered to our room from the adjoining hotel.

Cons:

The locked door between units allowed noise to filtrate into our unit.

Quiet, comfortable location for short stay. Liked the layout of the room, which suited us.
Pros:

Good location for our purposes: great food in the hotel. Close to where we needed to visit. Clean and comfortable. Did not spend much time in the room.

Cons:

I prefer to have some fresh air in the room, and was not able to due to no screens on the windows, so had to keep windows closed. Did not sleep very well as was quite warm, and I do not like sleeping with a cooling system. Also the bed was comfortable but not firm enough for my needs.

Value for money stay in Toowoomba
Pros:

The location was ideal. Very quiet. Close to hotel for meals. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. Parking directly outside our room. Appreciated the free drink and ten percent discount on meals at the pub next door. Very reasonable price.

Cons:

Nothing really. The room was value for money.
