Ballarat Colonial Motor Inn

Pleasant

Well-appointed and not too noisy,...

Liked: Enough beds to accommodate 3 kids and 2 adults.Well-laid out, well-furnished, comfy main bed.Warm, good privacy and block-out blinds.Dishwasher, oven, microwave, large fridge, kettle & toaster - very helpful! In-room washing machine and dryer were perfect as well.Complimentary breakfast was also welcome after a long drive the day before.
Disliked: Sofa bed was squeaky and not so comfy according to those who used it.Also had to cover a $100 bond which wasn’t anticipated pushing budget into the red but turnaround for refund was quick enough. Most places only “hold” the card details without actually debuting so be aware of this if you’re running tight.A few more pots/ saucepans would be helpful. Without the slow cooker we had brought with us we would have struggled to cook a meal.
