Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre
Very disappointing experience. The room wasn’t properly cleaned, with at least one towel clearly not changed. Amenities were minimal, and overall it did not feel worth the price.

Main Lead Ballarat Motel
The staff at reception was very friendly and suggested lots of activities/sights to visit. The room itself was ok, but the sheets on the bed smelt like cigarette smoke and the shower was filthy.

A really nice property very close to Sovereign Hill. You need a car to get around town but it worked really well for 4 nights.
