Great Hotel in the CBD of Ballarat, close to the train station
Pros:

The lady at the counter was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
We broke down on our journey home, our car had to be trucked home and we had to get a overnight coach the following night. So we had to find a place to stay close to the bus terminal.
We booked the room quite late, and arrived right at 5:30pm.
Highly recommended Hotel, great spot, and exceptional service.

Cons:

The fridge in the room was a little noisy, but not too bad

Sumptuous comfort made for a special weekend
Pros:

The room was spacious, beautifully and tastefully furnished and very clean and comfortable. The restaurant ‘Lola’ was a cut above. Simply delicious food. Had breakfast and dinner. 10/10 The staff were very courteous and helpful.

Cons:

Small but important. Three long dead large pot plants on the balcony. A coffee table and an outdoor rug to cover the floor would transform the spacious balcony.

A perfect stay
Pros:

After two long days of flights and buses, this was just what we needed. The room was beautiful, with lovely furnishings and the softest bed. We slept really well, the location was peaceful, and breakfast was delicious. It was the perfect break before continuing our travels, and having the bus station just across the road was really convenient.
