staff attitude was brilliant. they went out of theirway to ake sure everything was to expectations

Don Australia

BEST THING was after I left, I driven only 1 block before they phoned to say I'd left a bag in my room. Spacious, clean room, good facilities, mini-bar, good bath, several plugs at hand height so no bending down, pub next door did take-away, breakfasts were good. Lady on reception was very friendly.

Warren Australia

The room was large, well finished and very clean. Great location for the lake.

Tony Australia

friendly welcome and easy check in no hassles, large clean room. Great spot with a beautiful walk to the lake.

Kylie Australia

The room was large, clean and bright, very close to Lake Wendouree for coffee at the Ballarat Yacht Club or other cafes and a walk around the lake... Few minutes from most other Ballarat activities. Very quiet location and rooms appeared to be soundproofed as no noise from other rooms although they were occupied.

Suzanne Australia

Handy, easy walking distance, to Lake Wendouree and to the hospitals. Easy access to hotel. Promptness of room service. Staff were warm and friendly.

Anonymous Australia

great location, clean rooms, the heater was on when we arrived on a very cold Ballarat afternoon, lovely touch

Penelope Australia

Room was very clean, comfortable, WIFI was a great bonus. Bed, Shower & Spa were also clean and comfortable. Quite room also, even though it was next to the driveway. (Wouldn't know).

Adam Australia

The room was huge and roomy. Everything was clean and well presented. Loved the little chocolates that we got beside our bed.

Beatrice Australia

Room is so spacious and clean. Beds were really comfortable and well presented. We loved our 2night stay.
