Picked this motel off TripAdvisor and it proved a great choice. Room was very clean and seemed new (ie it lacked any semblance of that worn high-usage feel of many places). Limited contact with staff, as I checked in late and left in the morning - but what I did see was a bright, friendly attitude. I left my phone... More

I stayed here for one night on my way through for work. Very clean and tidy motel with very friendly staff. The only down side (in which would be the case for most motels located along James St) was the small amount of traffic noise. I would not hesitate in staying here again in the future.

We have an extremely nice motel unit here. The only downside of the place seems to be its situation on a frenetically busy road! Jill on reception is friendly and helpful. The room is very spacious with a squarer design than the usual motel room corridor. The living area has wardrobe, full length mirror, desk, dining table with two chairs,... More

After travelling with my work every month it was a pleasure to find the Highlander. The rooms are comfortable, clean and inviting. When I left I told everyone I knew about the amazing beds and pillows! It is one the best nights sleeps I have had while travelling. The owners are friendly and helpful and were even able to sqeeze... More

We have stayed in many motels all over rural NSW and a few in rural QLD because our son plays tennis and travels a lot. The Highlander Motor in was one of our favourites. The staff are friendly and helpful. We are a family of 5. We stayed in one of the self contained 3 bedroom apartments. The rooms are... More

Thank you for your positive feedback about so many aspects of our business. In particular our chef is chuffed - he works hard to provide consistently good meals to our guests. More

The Highlander was a great place to stay as we were going back and forth to the hospital. It is close to the main shopping centre, Grand Central, Toowoomba Base Hospital and Margaret St which has lots of restaurants and eateries. All the staff were kind, friendly and always helpful. Will definitely stay here again when in Toowoomba.

I stayed for three nights and was impressed with the cleanliness of the room and comfort of the bed. The meals I had were also excellent. The location is good, very close to the main shopping centres and right on a main highway.

I had just spent a week in Coolum and whilst that was awesome the accommodation was no where near as well equipped as the Highlander and we only stayed 2 nights! We had enough of everything and did not have to ask for extra garbage bags etc. I had 3 adults and one child staying and we were placed in... More

Our family visited this motor inn on the 20th December for a one night stay. Initially when we booked we spoke with a lovely gentleman and I explained we had 3 children ages, 13, 8 and 7. He offered a two room motel room at a rate of $175.00. Whoa!! Gone are the days you pay motor inn prices. I... More

Thanks Nicole for taking the time to tell of your experience at the motel. We’re pleased you found many of the features were very satisfactory. Regarding the traffic noise you experienced, we do advise on our website and in email enquiries that guests staying in the four Motel rooms fronting James Street may experience road noise.
