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.

Lovely receptionist is friendly and welcoming. Room is spacious and though ‘older’ it’s been upgraded, is in excellent repair, and very well kept. Clean, tidy, fresh, cozy with great reverse cycle air conditioning. Curtains lovely & effective in darkening the room. Nicely decorated too. Very good amenities, microwave & bar fridge with freezer. Only a few stairs to access verandah to my room. All round FANTASTIC stay. Thank you

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.
