Everything you could need and a bit more. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Really pleased with the little bonuses like fluffy towels, great water pressure and quality of brekky (fresh baked bread and real butter). Where other places have cut corners, this motel has maintained a great quality. Would be more than happy to stay here again next time we’re in Ballarat and have already recommended to others.
