"The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the room was fine. My only complaint was the broken towel rail in the bathroom. Not ideal to not be able to hang our towels and the pieces of the rail that were left on the door were dangerous. I didn't get the chance to advise of this when we checked out so I can only hope their cleaner's have brought it to management's attention."

Potters Toowoomba Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Clean spacious room, very comfortable bed & modern bathroom. Even though our room was at the front of the property near road, it was quiet enough. Plenty of free parking. There’s no lift, so ask for ground floor room if you can’t do stairs to 2nd level easily. Easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants nearby, as they don’t have their onsite restaurant open for breakfast Sun or Mon & no dinner Sat/Sun night. This was our 2nd visit as we like the quieter location but still close to city centre & parks."
