Perfect for a Nights stay in the middle of town
Pros:

Room was perfect for a nights stay. Good size room with ample parking outside your door.

Cons:

In the middle of a hotel renovation so it was definitely a construction site and therefore the hotel wasn't open for meals but thats a temporary issue

Could have been great
Pros:

This morning at 9am a woman entered my room ( house keeping ) why I was in bed. Which is insanely inappropriate ! All the good parts of this accommodation like the room, cleanliness , location, receptionist was very nice and all worthy of 5 star . But becomes irrelevant when a stranger enters your room, that should be safe space. Serious construction work going on right outside from 7am. so no sleep from than on .

This has become my favourite place to stay in Toowoomba due to its proximity to the city and the value for money. Just h
Pros:

Large twin beds, modern bathroom and electronic room entry.

Cons:

Construction noise commenced before 0700. I was aware of construction prior to booking, so not a major issue, just would have preferred limiting use of power tools until after 0700.

Do not stay here if they are still under going renovations.
Pros:

Freshly updated

Cons:

We did not know they were renovating. The construction guys started at 6:30am!!!! We slept late as the room was poorly soundproofed, we could hear the other guests watching tv and talking till late night.
