Comfortable stay.
Pros:

Excellent venue, and perfect for a quiet night within a few minutes walk to Ballarat Central.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and tidy, and well laid out and well serviced. Despite being close to the centre of the city and on a major road, the rooms were very quiet, allowing us an uninterrupted sleep. There was adequate undercover off-street parking, and another bonus was the fact that the North Star Hotel is part of the building complex (although apparently a seperate business). A fifty metre walk took us from front door to hotel dining room, and the food was excellent.

Cons:

Not so much a case of not liking it, but there is no sugar-coating the fact that the facilities are on the tired side. However this did not affect our stay in any way. The location and quietness easily makes up for it.

We had a lovely weekend
Pros:

Location was good and the room was great. I loved that it had a huge comfortable couch and cooking facilities.

Cons:

We had the ground floor assessable room and it was very loud when people were clomping up and down the stairs and above our room.

Comfortable and great location for short stay.
Pros:

Helpful staff, good to have kitchen facility and large room for 2 people sharing. Good sized bathroom, good location

Cons:

Cleanliness was ok but in kitchen some cups had not been properly cleaned and shower bottom rim had not been cleaned. The room smelled a little musty. In our case 2 women sharing and only mirrors in the bathroom. Need one in main room.
Stairs with luggage - although staff helped
