The room was spacious, neat & clean & the reception staff were lovely. Unfortunately the room we had was right at the front of the inn on the main road & the traffic noise was quite bad till very late. But, it needn’t have mattered as the aircon was the noisiest I have ever heard & woke me up repeatedly, keeping me awake thoughout the night. As it was August, we really needed to leave it on & which, really shouldn’t have been a problem, I got 2 hours sleep, which before an early start for a long drive the next day, was less than ideal.

Queen spa room
We went down to Toowoomba for a family holiday and stayed at the highlander hotel the staff were lovely. They always had a smile always keen to help you if you needed it very friendly to talk too. The room was amazing very clean and tidy perfect size for a couple or a small family. The patio was private and out of view of the street which was nice. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here for a few nights
