“Nice accommodation, very central and easy access to towncentre.”
The check in staff were lovely. Didn't eat at the property. The Room was spotlessly clean and the beds were really really comfortable. Great sized room.

“Staff were courteous and friendly but the room was very disappointing for the price.”
The hotel grounds were pleasant with attractive brick buildings, greenery, water features and a spa.

“Overpriced for what you are given.”
No microwave which is standard in 95% of other Ballarat Motels we have stayed in. No Toaster. Low water pressure. No bikkies. Low quality coffee. No coffee maker in room despite advertised as having one in every room of the motel. No parking close to room and uneven surface walking in the rain. Shower over bath and no handrail. Breakfast advertising for rooms a little bit confusing but apparently not included and an extra $30 per person for only a continental breakfast.
