Are you honestly being SERIOUS!?! EVERY single guest, is emailed an access code (via the booking agent) for entry to the hotel!! Did you NOT think to ring, text or email? We did not hear anything at all from you whoever you are (Anonymous obviously for a reason to hide your identity)! You only have yourself to blame for your utter stupidity this is NOTHING to do with our hotel at all, only complete and utter ignorance on your behalf, be gone with you!

The rooms are above a live music venue, which was fine for me. Other people might prefer to stay mid-week when things are quieter. I got to listen (through the floorboards) to a Metal band on Friday night, blues on Saturday and hip-hop on Sunday night. Bands (and venue) close at 11pm, so you still get to sleep. Excellent facillities - 2 bathrooms, shared kitchen with fridge, microwave, stove/grill, wifi and limited on-site parking. Clean, smells nice and safe. Excellent value for the price (provided you are OK with the noise). Also great view of the railway and the occasional steam train passing by. Close to town and bike tracks. I would go there again.

Do not book unless you’re desperate for somewhere to stay, I ended up walking out within half an hour due to safety and hygiene concerns only to be called a liar. I booked accomodation last minute at the Gisborne motel instead and for the same cost and was presented with much better amenities and extremely friendly staff in what is considered a much more high class and expensive town.

You are a cheap skate mate and nothing but a whinging nut job. Ballarat doesn't not need the likes of you coming into our beautiful town causing grief to small family businesses trying their best to survive after Covid. Go back to the hole you crawled out of you filthy drongo!
