“A hidden treasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

The room was huge and contained free Pay TV, but what I found most convenient was being able to work from my room with everything I needed.
My meal at the on-site restaurant were excellent, as was the breakfast room service which was on time and very reasonably priced.
The staff were really wonderful and went out of their way to make the stay comfortable.

I thoroughly recommend this venue to anyone passing through Toowoomba - normally I am a little sceptical of the smaller motels but the cleanliness, facilities and hospitality were first class and I will certainly stay again in the future, particularly given the very competitive prices.

Room Tip: I was in room 16 - it was fine.

“Best Sunday Stay ever at Toowoomba.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

My wife and I were a late booking due to her release from Hospital. From the moment we contacted the staff at James Street Motor inn, we knew we were on a winner. The Room was better than described and so very clean. The 'boss man' was polite and full of advise.

Due to continuing medical trips to Toowoomba and Brisbane, we will stay her again..

Just excellant

Room Tip: Ring up and discuss your booking

“Not recommended”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2011

Very uncomfortable beds. Very noisy, close to Warrego Highway with trucks travelling through all night. Internet connection poor and slow. Restaurant average. Not everything advertised on the menu was available and wait time between courses was lengthy. Rooms were clean and large. Friendly reception staff.

“Very Disappointed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

people found this review helpful

I always follow trip advisor before I stay somewhere and this was rated a great place to stay. After a very long drive with children we stayed here for 1 night. Upon arriving at night we were nicely welcomed, given our breakfast for the next day and shown to our room. The room was spacious and well planned with a queen and two single beds. Everything seemed great until we put our daughter to bed. Never have I seen so much hair in a blanket. There must have been 20 black long hairs and food stuck in this blanket. I was appalled. I told my daughter not to touch above the sheet. But it doesn't stop there. My husband and I went to go to bed and just as we were going rest my husband noticed something on his pillow. I thought it was a daddy long legs spider but it wasn't - it was hair with scalp. All we wanted to do was sleep to refresh ourselves for our long trip the next day. Very disappointed. There didn't seem to have any heating in this room and it was quite cold. The noise of trucks going past woke us many times. It is very important to me that a room is clean and that the beds especially are. It is ashame what happened as the place looked great with a lovely looking Restaurant.

I am supprised at the above review and the comments about the bedding is very disturbing , we have a very hight quality linnen supply and have now real awnser to the comment , except to say , fresh linnen is fitted to EVERY room after a gusets departs .
We are located in Toowoomba on a main road as are most motels , and we have some road noise in some rooms , as do most motels , but this affects some guest differently , depending where they come from , counrty people compared to city people are comletly different .
