I enjoyed my stay and the room was lovely. If I was in Toowoomba on business, it probably isn’t the best choice as there are no areas for that, no rooms or spaces set aside for that. Otherwise it was great!

Is advertised as Toowoomba's luxury hotel, however fails to deliver. Booked the Luxury King suite, room was clean and tidy but overcrowded with mishmashed furnishings and confused styling. Lack of robes was also disappointing. Was a nice room but not luxury.
