Neat and tidy room with the added bonus of breakfast which was included in the price. Easy walk to plenty of food options for dinner. Bathroom very dated though, with some mould showing, broken tile(s) and shower screen panels that needed fixing.

Pleasant stay thanks so much. The bed was so comfortable, it’s been over 40 years since I stayed here & the decor shows this period of time, the bathroom area also could do with a refurbish. All in all perfect position being so central & staff are lovely & very helpful.

We didn’t feel rushed to leave and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. The look of the motel is pleasing with the retro furnishings and staircase. Our room was noisy with a fan which varied in frequency, we couldn’t locate where to turn it off. Please could you ask the receptionist to slow her speech a bit as we had difficulty following her instructions on how to get to our room when we checked in last night. Overall a very nice stay.

Overall stay was fine for expected use, sleep and tv. Bathroom facility in rooms however do not have fans, unfortunate for people with bowel issues. Hot showers also caused a problem due to no fan. Anything in the bathroom became saturated from stream making the bathroom floor extremely slippery and electronics unsafe for use. Accessible power points were few, having to use other side of the room for power. We were grateful for an upgrade due to exposed wires in our room, which was sorted very quickly. Breakfast was included in our stay, both mornings were the same but overall a tasty selection. Staff were working tirelessly to help all guests. Mid-City is good for the price paid.

Perfect for what I needed - a room for an overnight stay, close to the Civic Hall. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly. I would definitely return if I needed to come back to Ballarat for a short stay.
