Breakfast was average we got there around 9am and eggs were limited
We didn’t feel rushed to leave and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. The look of the motel is pleasing with the retro furnishings and staircase. Our room was noisy with a fan which varied in frequency, we couldn’t locate where to turn it off. Please could you ask the receptionist to slow her speech a bit as we had difficulty following her instructions on how to get to our room when we checked in last night. Overall a very nice stay.

Just passing through
Room was clean and spacious but very dated. New fridge and tv. Bed was soft and rolled to the middle, bathroom needs an overhaul. Breakfast was well above what we were expecting and plentiful. Staff are excellent.
Overall stay was fine for expected use, sleep and tv. Bathroom facility in rooms however do not have fans, unfortunate for people with bowel issues. Hot showers also caused a problem due to no fan. Anything in the bathroom became saturated from stream making the bathroom floor extremely slippery and electronics unsafe for use.
Accessible power points were few, having to use other side of the room for power. We were grateful for an upgrade due to exposed wires in our room, which was sorted very quickly. Breakfast was included in our stay, both mornings were the same but overall a tasty selection. Staff were working tirelessly to help all guests. Mid-City is good for the price paid.

Outdated, could do with a bit of a refresher on bathroom etc
Perfect for what I needed - a room for an overnight stay, close to the Civic Hall. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly. I would definitely return if I needed to come back to Ballarat for a short stay.
Affordably priced with complimentary breakfast that would cost $25 elsewhere. Basic cooked breakfast and buffet yet very good. Fresh OJ was best I've ever had and good barista coffee. Bedroom large yet dated and needs rejuvenating. Sadly a musty smell. Minor mould in old tiles yet shower clean. Damaged bed base yet mattress new and comfortable. Maybe the surprising 50 inch TV in room added to make up for short comings. Location in Ballarat City fantastic. Short walk to retail and night life. Would stay again. Need to renovate rooms sooner than later.
The check-in was kind of confusing, even though we had a booking and it was 'found' after a chat with the manager.
The hotel is not bad, but the room... way less than ideal, with the carpet and shower tiles and condition in serious need of renovation. The sheets and towels were clean though. A mix of good and bad things in general. Room holds stars down.
