Room wasnt available until a little after 2. Parking was limited car park was all filled up when we arrived back to hotel no where to park. We ended up leaving at 1130 pm to go back home.

Ballarat Colonial Motor Inn & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Fairly noisy on the highway. Pool was closed by the time we arrived. No nearby food outlets"

The Menzies Ballarat

8/10 Good

"The staff were great to deal with and able to extend our stay the day before we arrived. The location was good with easy access and safe parking The room was spacious with a comfortable clean bed and large fridge freezer. The bathroom was also spacious with a roomy shower with abundant hot water and pressure. The fittings in the bathroom were shonky with the roll holder falling off along with a towel rail, these could be easily fixed. We would stay again."
