Clean, spacious & sufficient

Staff/owners were very friendly on check-in. I arrived earlier than expected & was given a room without any problems. Milk was offered for tea & coffee as well. There was also cold water in the fridge Room was very large, with a small dining table & chairs, bed & couch. Bathroom was also very large. Bathroom also included a bathtub. Although room is a little dated inn appearance & could use a refresh. However, it was clean. Facilities had a swimming pool & a restaurant. We didn't use either, but they had plenty of patronage by other customers. Parking wasn't a problem, however if someone is parking behind you in another space, you just need to be careful when reversing. Definitely need aircon on during stay to keep cool.

Three night Toowoomba stay

This is our 2nd stay at James St Motor Inn. We came back as we found our first stay comfortable and convenient. Our current experience was no different. Facilities are good for the age of the motel. The location is convenient, we found it quiet and the rooms quite large and comfortable. Room service was excellent. The only comment we would make is for longer stays than one to 2 nights, it would be convenient for the daily cleaners to actually stop by and ask if you need anything replenished, as that didn’t happen with us, except on one day when the manager came around. Overall, a happy stay….we would consider returning if we ever needed to come again.
