My husband and I stayed here in August for a 5 night stay. On arrival the woman behind the reception didn't even check we were who we said were. Handed us the key and just said up stairs on that side. On entering the room the plug in air freshener was so strong I had to remove it and open the balcony door to let some fresh air in.
The room smelt musty. The room itself was quite spacious and tidy. The bathroom shower base was mouldy and the silicone toilet brush was black with mould. The directory of things to do and how to use items in the room was sticky and was so out dated that we couldn't even use the tv for what was advertised. After staying only 2 nights my husband became very sick then on the 3rd night I did too. We left 2 days earlier than the booking to find out we both ended up with severe chest infections. We booked this motel from all the good google reviews but obviously there are new owners and they are not looking after the motel with the same care or customer service as what other people had experienced.

The room was clean and well maintained. Service was good and the location was very convenient for the town centre (an easy 15 minute walk).

Wow what a great place to stay in Ballarat. After having a long day of driving and tiring. It was great to see Shane's friendly face. What a lovely character. The room was nice and quiet and clean. Very close to Very good Pubs and Restaurants like 100m.... Munster Arms.

Excellent little motel. The room was spacious, clean, modern and well-appointed. The air conditioning was excellent on a hot day, and the bed and bedding were genuinely comfortable. Great central location and very reasonably priced.
I’ve read some of the negative reviews and they’ve left me baffled. After staying here, it’s obvious some reviewers confuse “budget motel” with “five-star resort” and then throw a public tantrum when reality intervenes. This is a small, family-run business that delivers exactly what it advertises. The criticism says far more about the reviewers than it does about the motel. Book with confidence — and maybe ignore the entitlement on display in some of the one-star reviews.

We stayed here one night. The room was clean. But I would not stay here again . There was a lot if road noise during rhe night. The walls thin so we could hear snoring from another room. One bedside lamp didn't work as it needed a new bulb. The other had a disgusting lampshade: it appeared to have gotten wet and not wiped. We did not shower as the base was rusty and corroded.
