Room We stayed in room 303, which was an average sized hotel room with a sink, toaster and kettle, a tiny bar fridge, a microwave and cooktop and a limited supply of crockery, cutlery and cookware. It’s a bit of a stretch to call it a studio. It had an awkward, L-shaped configuration with nowhere to eat. The bed was comfortable enough, and being a very quiet room, we slept soundly. The small TV had free-to-air channels only, and there was a desk and chair facing the window. Two generous cupboards provided ample storage, with plenty of hangers. I didn’t see a safe, but then it wasn’t needed. The two bedside tables, each one with a drawer, were useful for extra storage. An overhead fan, strategically positioned in the middle of the room with a light, gave reasonable illumination, but overall, the lighting was not strong enough to be able to read easily. There were plenty of power points, so charging multiple phones at the same time did not present any problems. The free wi-fi gave us speedy and reliable internet service. There was very limited natural light, no balcony and a view that looked directly across to the next-door Oaks Hotel. This made it quite depressing and gloomy, especially in the grey and overcast winter weather. Luckily there was a decent air con/heater with a remote that worked well to keep the room warm. Bathroom The bathroom was also small but with a large shower with good water pressure, which tended to overflow the cubicle, making the floor rather permanently slippery and wet. The fact that there’s no window didn’t help matters either. There was a vanity under the basin to store toiletries and a shelf above the toilet. It did have the all-important solid locking wooden door for privacy. A small quantity of toiletries and other provisions were supplied. Service We found all the staff to be friendly, helpful and polite. They were more than happy to supply extra provisions and fresh towels when requested. I was a bit surprised though that the room was not serviced on Saturday morning. Checkout is a rather early 10.00am and when we asked for an extension to 12.00pm or even 11.00am, all that they could offer us was for a 10.30am checkout, which I thought was a bit mean. Parking One of the best features of this place is the easy parking. There are temp spots (15 minutes) right outside the front entrance, which makes loading and unloading your bags a breeze. Once you’ve checked in, received your keys and fob, and unloaded, you’ll need to move your car down to one of the lower levels, but that too is pretty handy and convenient with direct lift access. Location This I guess is the biggest plus for TCPAH because you couldn’t get a better spot in Toowoomba. It’s a five minute level walk to the huge Grand Central Shopping Centre, where you’ll find everything you need from supermarkets to restaurants, cafes, chemists, liquor stores, clothing stores etc. Just up the road a few minutes walk in the opposite direction you’ll find
