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.

While it was one of the cheaper places in Toowoomba, the room was very good. It was exactly what we needed for two people. Many thanks to the management.
