The room was really lovely, clean and spacious. Dining at the hotel was easy and a great meal. Unfortunately the mattress was too soft and had no support. Both myself and my husband had a very uncomfortable night with barely any sleep. Not good when you have to travel the next day.

Very spacious 3 bedroom apartment. Easy check in and check out process. Only weird thing was the wardrobes were padlocked closed so we had nowhere to hang our clothes. As we arrived after the reception office had closed and were only staying one night we didn’t follow it up with anyone.

All staff interactions from reception in the evening and morning, room service and cleaning staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Pricing was fair for accommodation and room service. I would stay there again next time needing to stay over in Toowoomba. I travel a lot for my job so I feel I am very qualified to rate motel rooms and I give this nightcap a 9/10.

The property was great but when I checked out the reception (when I asked what their price would have been in comparison to Wotif they said for one person it would be $157 so if I had booked direct it would have been $65 per night cheaper.
