In a quiet location and room was reasonable without being great. Bed was very comfy. Cleanliness was ok but the bath / spa didn’t appeal. The water pipes and / or the exhaust fan was really loud and needs work as it made a horribly loud noise within the walls

Clean, neat and affordable. However, the supplied double mattress was beyond it's use by date. It was uncomfortable to the point of being quite difficult to sleep on.

The bathroom tap made a screaming noise when turned on, and the shampoo and conditioner were in 2 small bottles (imagine a lipstick stick) so how was that going to do 2 adults . There is a blind which does not cover the sides of the window and at night people who walk out side can look in . The shower was a very cheap one and the toilet was so small. The TV was also very small. for the $129 we paid , we will go to another hotel in Ballarat next time
