25.01.2022 Planted some new hedge today!

24.01.2022 Winter coming on so its a good time to try our pumpkin soup.

23.01.2022 Been awhile since the last but another bathroom renovation complete. Hope to have another done by the end of July.

21.01.2022 Hi I would like to wish a very merry Christmas to all who have supported us through the year and hope you have a great day. Just having a quite drink here. Hope Santa brings what you wished for. Merry Xmas

20.01.2022 Great to see the putt putt open at the City golf club.

17.01.2022 Hello I am fortunate to have 20 tickets to Hudson circus which is set up in Toowoomba until the 4th of March. So we thought we would give 2 tickets away to anybody who books a room at the Ruthven Street Motor Inn from now until they are gone Only catch is you have to book over the phone and there are only 20 so get in quick. So share the post with as many as you can and if you know anybody from out of town who needs a night out let them know.... Cheers See more

16.01.2022 In response to the ongoing drought the Ruthven Street Motor Inn would like to make a small difference We are offering 3 families of up to 4 people to come and stay with us for 2 nights free between now and Xmas. To be eligible you must express your interest or nominate a family who is doing it tough from the drought. Please use the email below to express your interest [email protected] After a week we will draw out 3 lucky families.... And be in contact to organise dates. Please do not use regular phone or email to nominate as they won’t be excepted. Thanks Jackie & Michael

14.01.2022 Just having a beer and watching the T20. Not much chance of seeing in the new year I don’t think To all you have supported us throughout the last year, thank you very much we appreciate it very much. I have lots of improvements planned for the new year so I hope we can see you soon. Happy new year. Michael & Jackie

13.01.2022 Getting in to the spirit in reception.

13.01.2022 New breakfast menu

12.01.2022 Room 11 should be done today. Carpet goes in around lunch.

12.01.2022 Updated the motel key tags recently. Still not sure why it took so long to think of the idea but here they are.

10.01.2022 Over the last 2 decades online travel agents or OTA’s have become the main way people book holidays and accommodation in Australia. The commissions of these OTA’s began at rates around 2.5% to 5% since then they have risen to 12% to 15% in Australia and even higher in other parts of the world. While there are many players in the market 2 major operators control the majority of bookings in Australia. These 2 major players are overseas based companies that have actively acquire...d most of their viable competition over the past 10 years. The high commission rates are now a major cost to the business, that was not there before the OTA’s arrived on the scene. And contrary to some people beliefs OTA’s do not increase the amount of people staying in accommodation around Australia they just provide a service to make it easy to search and book them. It is no longer possible to operate an accommodation business in Australia without listing your rooms on OTA’s and there business practices and the way they treat small operators reflects their control in the market place. This behaviour and practices border on extortion as they pray on an industry that is made up of thousands of small operators who don’t have the power or cohesion required to stand up to them. Billions of dollars leave this sector every year to foreign owned corporations unnecessarily . It is time for an enquiry into this issue. Stand up for thousand of Australian small business operators who have been impacted by these OTA’s. Introduce regulation and guidelines they have to operate within that is in agreeable to the Accommodation industry or better still ban them completely and see billions of dollars stay in the local economy. Please help support support local Australian small business by signing an online petition here https://aph.gov.au/petition_list Thank you

07.01.2022 Just finish replacing the kitchenette in room 16(self contained).

06.01.2022 Started bathroom renovations in room 11. Stay tuned for updates.

06.01.2022 Just making the driveway a little wider here today. Those that remember the old tiled walkway along the edge of the driveway, will not miss it I'm sure.

05.01.2022 Finally we have room 19 back in action and looking good after water heater caused damage.

01.01.2022 Happy Easter From Ruthven Street Motorinn ... Have a safe and happy holiday
