“Clean, Comfortable, Central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2013

We stayed here one night over the Easter break. There was a mini-bar, the rooms were spacious, very clean, great shower, and the bed was comfortable. Although it appeared to be at capacity, noise was not a problem. Perhaps this motel has been unfairly reviewed due to the decore being older (80's), however, this was not a problem in our... More

“Clean and Comfortable rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2013

I stayed there for one night and our stay was comfortable.Room was clean and has everything which is necessary , we also asked for microwave/Crockery which they readily put in our room.It's best part is that it's in middle of city and is near to the attractions.Overall it's worth the money we paid for.

“a decent place to stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 29, 2013

I'm not sure what drugs some of the reviewers of this hotel have been taking? While the place is a bit 1980s, its perfectly fine and represents decent value in the down town of Ballarat. If i had anything to complain about it would be the clapped out fridge in the room that was not really up to the job.... More

“Not Good”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2013

I arrived at 9pm and was greeted by a bright bubbly receptionist, no problems booking in, got woken up prior to 8am by what seemed 100 electricians attending a conference. One good thing I had a great cooked breakfast. I come from the NT so am doing a lot of shopping before going back. Asked to stay another night had... More

“A very comfortable stay, close to town centre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

I stayed overnight when visiting nearby Creswick. I arrived early at 12:30pm and the reception staff very kindly let me check-in early before I headed out for the rest of the day, which was most obliging. The room was nicely refurbished and had everything I needed. The hotel is just around the corner from a number of restaurants. In the... More

“More like a 3 star rating”

Our room was ok but for a family it was not very spacious. The bathroom looks a little old with shower over bath which was a little slippery. No kitchenette facility (need to fill kettle from bathroom, which I think is quite unhygienic). The included buffet breakfast was good although the service was a little non existent!! Food offered was... More

“Adequate motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

This is very well located. Our room was adequate, but sadly the walls are paper-thin and we "enjoyed" our neighbours' television programmes for too long. Said neighbour was most helpful when asked to turn it down. The restaurant, against all expectations, was very good and very reasonably priced. There are lots of interesting things to see and do in Ballarat,... More
