We enjoyed our one night stay, finding the staff welcoming and helpful. The area was quiet, and not far from the city centre. The property looked to have changed hands recently, as facilities were being upgraded.

Very clean and well presented place. Huge king size bed and super comfortable. Complimentary water was also great. Air con was fantastic to walk into. Located centrally to everything you need. Very short drive to restaurants and sovereign Hill. Across the road there's a outdoor pool and playground. Very child friendly.

Cheap and comfortable!

Arrived late and the key was in an unsecured box, would have preferred a coded key lockbox but as this is the only complaint I have I think it is fairly mild. The place was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Fantastic place to sleep in Ballarat.

We had a short stop over night before leaving very early the next day (5:30am). It was clean and comfortable however the shower dripped constantly and this kept me awake. I ended up putting face washers in the base of the shower to deaden the noise. It was a very quiet neighbourhood and the Indian restaurant right next door was delicious.
