It served our requirements adequately and was warm on a very cold night.
Pros:

Its position close to Sovereign Hill suited us.

Cons:

The room felt a bit closed in as the window onto the balcony need to to down for privacy.
The other window was very high up.

Good location, comfortable clean rooms, good facilities
Pros:

Comfortable clean rooms with a stove as well as microwave, elevator which was great for my husband who has mobility issues, location terrific as close to Ballarat CBD, undercover parking

Cons:

Lacking cooking utensils and cookware so could actually use the oven. This is a common problem with just about everywhere I have stayed, if you are provided with good cooking facilities it is essential that you are provided with cookware and utensils to cook with.

We had a good stay, I would come again
Pros:

It was quiet and close to the attraction

Cons:

The water pressure and I think the photos shown on the sight really looked nothing like the actual property.
