Apollo Lodge

It's a family-run motel, and the staff were so warm and helpful we felt comfortable leaving our door open. We even watched some footy with them for a bit, up the Broncs! The rooms have what you need for a few nights, including your own laundry. A great place to stay, and I'd recommend it.

The manager was a huge help, and the accommodation was really good value in a handy spot.

The area was quiet and had good safety measures, which made this feel like a good family option. The unit was comfortable and had what we needed, with friendly staff who were happy to help. The hospital, local parks and a few shops are all within walking distance. Good value for money, especially for a hospital stay.

We chose Unit 10 for its position near Toowoomba Base Hospital, and it worked perfectly for that. There's a full kitchen with a fridge, stove, toaster, cookware, sink, cutlery and dishes, plus a laundry with a dryer. The private courtyard has a clothesline and a table with chairs, though there's no cover, so you can't sit out there in the rain. The unit has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two singles. The beds were comfortable and all had electric blankets. The furniture is older. The lounge and accent chair looked dated and sank when you sat down, but the lounge was a reasonable size and had a large-screen TV. The bathroom seemed newer, with a lovely large shower rose and good hot water; the toilet is in there too. There's reverse-cycle air conditioning and a lockable garage. I'd recommend it, particularly if you need to be near the hospital.
