Toowoomba Homestays

The hotel is in the center of Tuwenba, next to the shopping center, there are large supermarkets and restaurants, there is also a Korean supermarket, you can buy steamed buns, instant noodles and other foods, the hotel room has a microwave oven, an induction cooker, pots and pans, you can cook by yourself, very convenient, there is also a parking lot.

Reception here is great. We arrived into Toowoomba and caught up with family before checking in. I didn't realise reception closed at 7pm. I received a call asking whta time I was expected and the receptionist explained that as the office closed at 7pm she would organise for our keys to be left in the night safe. That was really great customer service and we appreciated it. Potters, from the website, looks rather up market, but for us the room was dark and cramped. The bed was super comfortable (better than our bed at home) but the pillows were huge and lumpy. The nice thing about the room was that it had a sliding door that opened to a rather unwelcoming outside area. It was nice to be able to get cool, fresh air into the room though. At night the room was really dark and quiet despite having the sliding door and curtains open (there is a fly wire screen door too). We hadn't factored in that the hotel is right beside a child care centre, that during the week (and to a lesser extent Saturday morning) is quite noisy due to the playing children. This noise starts at around 7.30pm and gets louder and louder until around 9am when the children must go inside to play. It's a happy sound but maybe annoying if you wanted to sleep in. Mind you, if we had had the sliding door shut, most of that noise would be blocked. You can get breakfast here, which I have heard good reports about, but the service finishes at 9.30am so look sharp! This is an okay place to stay, but with no real character. We stayed in a ”deluxe king room”. It wasn't especially deluxe but the bed was a king sized one. I liked how quiet and dark the rooms were at night time, but I will probably look elsewhere for our next stay.

We go to Toowoomba roughly once a month and after trying a few different places we have settled on Quest. The staff are great and all the facilities are perfect for our needs. The rooms are clean, don’t have that “hotel smell” and the beds are comfortable. We always ask for a room overlooking Queens Park which is beautiful.

This is the hotel I choose to stay at when travelling to Toowoomba for work. It has a bit of an old school, country friendliness vibe to it, which I like and everyone at work tells me they had their wedding reception there! The beds are comfortable and the room well set up for a stay of a night or two. The food on site is good pub food. The staff at reception are fantastic and every time I check in they say 'welcome back' which is nice! Hotel is centrally located and has off street parking (at no cost, unlike some of the other hotels in town).
