Motel Best Western Plus Ballarat Suites (Ballarat, Australia)

The spacious guestrooms are a huge bonus at this hotel. They are well-decorated, the temperature is kept to a comfortable level and the beds are perfect to sink into at the end of a long drive. The rooms are split into different living areas so having a lounge area makes it comfortable if you are staying long term or if you are travelling as a family. Rooms also benefit from a desk area, Wi-Fi and basic kitchen facilities. Some even have the extra bonus of a spa bath which is the ideal place to relax.

Sovereign Hill is a historic park and museum and is located just minutes from the hotel, close enough to walk to in summer or otherwise just a short drive away. Guests have actually stated that when the attraction is busy the hotel car park is closer than where you would have to park otherwise.

Check-in is fast and efficient with staff being both professional and courteous. The housekeeping team work hard to ensure that high standards of cleanliness are evident throughout the property.

If you use the spa bath you will need to make sure you empty it before you leave otherwise the hotel will charge you extra for not doing so.

If you have mobility issues, are travelling with young children or have lots of luggage it is worth noting that there is no lift here. If taking the stairs is likely to be a problem you may wish to request a ground floor room.

Some guests have expected there to be a restaurant on-site and have been confused to find otherwise. You have two main choices here, either self-cater using the kitchen facilities in your room or there are a number of eateries within walking distance should you wish to venture out and treat yourself to a meal out.
