Mould in the bathroom is not just unsightly it has the potential to be damaging to your health. Poor cleaning practices are becoming all too common in motels. There realy needs to be a review of practices and training in this area, It seems owners think just keeping the job with a relative to keep costs down. It just lowers the standard. Two star motel!

A map of Toowoomba that you can take with you would be helpful. There was a small map in folder but you couldn’t take with you while out and about. Also a small but useful would be a few toothpicks which you wouldn’t think to bring with you. I’m not complaining just suggesting. Thanks for a great stay
