ok cheap stay in Ballarat

ok cheap place to stay. close to shops and eating places. we were lucky enough to be given a larger room with a spa bath. unfortunately the shower was in the bath and this was a little awkward for us older travellers. our room was spacious. had table and chairs and a couch. the room was at the far end of the building overlooking a fairly busy intersection. it was noisy at night

This property is terrible! Cobwebs everywhere, mould in the bathroom, terrible smell of mustiness! When the owner was approached she stayed on her phone and wasn’t willing to help. I asked for another room with a walk in shower and I was told it’s only for people in a wheelchair. I have a disability with 3 spinal fusions and nerve damage and I was still told no! Then she said it’s booked!! She was very rude!! Never go there again! But her husband was very polite. Think twice before you book here

Offered ground floor rooms but then when realised we paid a discount gave us top room, completely out dated. Bed as hard as concrete, pillows the same. Very dark room bathroom outdated with shower over bath, no slip mat, slipped when exiting the bath. We were four guests and only had three shampoo/conditioners. Nobody at service desk morning or night. There was a side door which gave access 24/7 not secure anyone could come into the lodge upstairs rooms, even when nobody was at the desk. Check in, lady was on her mobile phone to someone the whole time I was checking in and I felt rushed to check in. Room was clean and cleaners were so lovely and welcoming (unlike service desk). Fairly good position was probably a 5 minute walk to town but very bloat woke all night to trucks an d loud cars motorbikes etc . It has potential to be a really nice place, until then won’t be returning.

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.
