It was a comfy bed and the blankets were warm. We just needed someone to crash out after a party and leave the next day so we didn't need any fancy extras. It was good value for the price.

Toowoomba - and we’ll stay here again.

We stayed in one of the Riviera’s executive units. The unit had a combined living, dining, lounge and kitchenette area with a decent-sized flat screen TV and a nice sofa and coffee table. The separate bedroom had a king-size bed which was extremely comfortable and a second smaller TV. The bathroom was clean and serviceable. There was undercover car parking adjacent to the front door. Included in the quite reasonable tariff was a continental breakfast - cereal, toast with a range of condiments, and brewed coffee and tea. Not the Ritz, but good enough to start the day! The accommodation is rated 3.5 stars. We will come again.
