My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were clean, well-appointed, and quiet, with a nice view of Lydiard Street, but the noise from downstairs and outside was quite disruptive to our short weekend break. The service was friendly overall, but there were issues like overcharging and lack of helpful recommendations. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, but there were some disappointments like a surcharge at the bar. The dining options were a bit disorganized and overpriced. However, the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is in a central location in Ballarat, ideal for exploring the town on foot. The rooms, though beautifully furnished with lovely fittings, are a bit dark due to decor colors and have smoked glass walls for the ensuite, lacking a view. The service was friendly and accommodating despite some initial issues, and the facilities are satisfactory.
