I had a very pleasant stay overall. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and I loved that I could adjust the temperature to my liking. The service was great, with helpful staff. However, I did notice some noise issues from neighboring rooms which disturbed my sleep a bit. The location is convenient for exploring Ballarat, even though it requires a short drive. Breakfast was included and exceeded my expectations, but I didn't get to enjoy the pool due to the winter weather.
