The price is reasonable and the location is convenient for traveling to Ballarat. If you’re going to Sovereign Hill, it’s only a 5-minute drive. The staff is nice.

Clean room and comfortable bed. Nothing special. Would’ve been great if there was a toaster in the room which is a staple of all motor inns these days especially when you’re self-catering on a Sunday morning for brekky. There were limited breakfast options on Sundays in a town like Ballarat.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Terrible all around

Our room was very poorly maintained. We found ants throughout the space, the bathroom had cracked tiles, and the bath faucet was coming off the wall. There was no shower curtain, so every time we used the shower, the entire bathroom flooded. Housekeeping was lacking during our three-night stay. Towels were only replaced once, and essentials like toilet paper and shampoo were never restocked. The room was not serviced at all—no beds made or cleaning done. To top it off, the iron provided was unusable and left a large stain on my white shirt. Overall, we were very disappointed with our experience.

Short stay

A very comfortable room except for couch that was too low to floor. Bed was great and the heating in the room was excellent. Spacious room. Been here before and the freshen up of room was nice to see.
