Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Everything was nice about this place except the water pressure in the shower. A watering can would have had better hot water pressure. The location was great, nice welcoming staff, nice clean rooms, plenty of space in the room, places to eat nearby, on Ruthven Street, the main street, which is a very long street. It even included a light continental breakfast with home made jam’s available in the price of the room. Sad that hot water was an issue.

Very comfy stay - good shower, good bed, good tv. Somewhat dated, but very clean. There is a Chinese restaurant next door where we enjoyed a delicious evening meal, reasonably priced. Breakfast at the motel was complimentary and very nice - a range of cereals including Bircher muesli, a range of breads for toasting, and delicious homemade jams.

I booked this motel for my work assignment in Toowoomba. Initially attracted by its modern look and location, I ended up staying here for a month. Rooms are reasonably priced and well maintained. No wonder there is always a no vacancy sign because they are so popular.
Staff were great. I have to make a request and they have graciously complied.
The Chinese restaurant next door is a bonus feature and other eating places are just a walking distance.
Will surely book again in my future travels in Toowoomba.

I stayed at the Riviera on Ruthven for 5 nights. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything I needed for my stay. It was very quiet due to the solid walls and the room was freshened and fresh towels were provided daily. The small fridge kept my supplies nicely cooled and the room included plates, bowls, mugs and cutlery for two. If I wanted a larger fridge or cooking facilities I could have upgraded to a self catering apartment for a small extra cost. The continental breakfast is an excellent bonus and is well stocked and laid out.

We had a wonderful stay. The rooms, while dated, were very clean and spacious. The management people were lovely and very helpful. It was a wonderful surprise to find that complementary breakfast was included - all you could eat cereals, toast, coffee, tea and juice and the most delicious home made jams. The motel was very close to the 3 venues we attended over two days - it suited us very well. Would definitely stay there again.

I sent an email to enquire whether a particular sized room was available from Sat until Mon on 3 specific weekends during the flower festival. Vikki replied stating she needs to know our specific dates of travel before she can confirm availability. So I called and explained we can travel on any of the three weekends (pending availability of this room at her motel). It was ridiculous when she then stated abruptly (while sounding annoyed) “this is what I explained via email, I need you to give specific dates”. If a hotel Manager cannot politely accommodate a basic question during the booking process, why should I spend money to stay there? Imagine the poor customer service. We booked elsewhere.

Sorry to hear you did not have a good experience. We do require details of dates required to provide availability. We do not have the ability to provide information to you without first receiving full details of your request. When you did call you also asked about dates in October, not just in September as stated in your email. We, unfortunately, do not have the ability to provide information for vague questions. We do require information to go by.

The couple working the motel were not friendly to me and made me feel unwelcome. I won't stay there again. The vanity blocked and needed attention. The ironing board and iron had sticky residue on them Lucky I saw it and used my friends one in the nest room. The place is ok for the price my main issues are with how I was treated by the couple running the joint, which I felt was extremely poor. I wont return..

Sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. The vanity was fixed as soon as you came to reception to advise us of it. Had we been advised of any other issues we certainly could have addressed those as well. The only other interaction we had with you was at checkin when you asked about the pool and was advised that there was to be no glass or alcohol to be taken into the pool area which you did not seem to like. We were at no time rude or unfriendly.

Riviera is in a great location and even though it’s on a main road, it’s very quiet. The room was very clean and tidy and the added extra of fresh milk, tea, coffee and biscuits were appreciated. We unfortunately had problems with the television and lukewarm water for our showers at 7pm. A chat with Petra and Michael, and both were rectified with us having boiling hot water for morning. The complimentary continental breakfast was much appreciated with Petra’s porridge a real treat. The marmalade on offer was extra yummy.

Stayed one night in executive type room. Entry to room is via dual entry which is not my style at all and felt uncomfortable for both couples staying in these rooms. Room was clean but definitely older. Had a king size bed but the bedside tables didn't fit so were turned sideways so actually not able to use the drawers. Shower was over bath which made it difficult to get in and out as the bath was high. Shower head leaked so would have thought with water restrictions this would have been addressed. Check in gentleman was friendly however being greeted by a dog in the doorway licking me was not my cup of tea either. Would have been good if the WIFI password was supplied on check-in as couldn't find it listed anywhere in the room. Advised that there was a free breakfast in dining room from 7.30am was a pleasant surprise and we did take advantage of that but having the owners dog in the room being fed at the tables was just yuk to be honest. Perhaps the addition of weetbix might be a good thing for the continental breakfast as selection was rather different. Our unit had undercover onsite parking for the car which was good. Very popular chinese restaurant just across the road but also close to City Golf Club if you are looking for dinner close by. Value for $100 a night but honestly the dog should not be able to wander in the dining room and giving out the WIFI password would have improved the experience as can deal with older motels if they are clean & it was. If you are older then make sure you check regarding the shower over bath. Would stay again as value for money and location for us was great

Pro’s - breakfast included, pool, bathroom was extremely keen. Tea, coffee, fridge and microwave offered in room. Can accommodate families 3 or more. Reasonably priced but still overpriced for the accommodation offered however it was Carnival of flowers. Owners / reception were helpful when asked questions & quickly replenished breakfast items that ran low.

Con’s - to charge the prices its listed at, there needs to be a little maintenance. Room 11 front window rattles extensively in the wind. I needed to jam napkins in the separation to stop it..
the worse thing for me were the navy bed spreads & navy throw cushions They need to be ditched, they were terribly dirty, discoloured and covered in stains.. it’s a shame really as I honestly think the small change of bed spreads to something more basic will make the world of difference to the appearance, cleanliness and price offered. Oh also the lounge chairs need a good dry clean as these were quite dirty..

Both owners that were on reception Friday and Saturday were lovely, eager to help and answer any questions which was a great attribute to the venue.
