good location with lots of on street parking, this hotel offers apartment stays in period building with some fine period features including high ceilings. There definitely needs to be some maintenance to shower caulking and grout and the shower fixture itself must have been broken by a previous guest and was no longer adjustable which is not good. The sound proofing between 2 bedrooms with the doors shut was deplorable and you could hear your friends turn over it was so bad...might not be good for couples wanting privacy once the door is closed! The kitchen offers basic sachets of coffee/tea and cookies and there was milk in the fridge...no dishwasher. No reception during our stay...lockbox key access and key drop...not sure how you would pay for minibar??? Old photos of Ballarat would be preferable to the Eiffel Tower!

Pros- easy parking at rear of property Self Check in with code to collect your Door key/swipe card. Large rooms with high ceilings Good water pressure in shower Pillow choices on bed Cons-Could hear loud neighbours through adjoining door which offers no soundproofing. Bed was too soft for me but other guests may love them. Skylights are unable to be darkened during daylight savings hours which can affect early sleepers.

Great value place and lots of space for a family. We stayed in 11B and there’s a sky light in the room - which makes it quite bright for sleeping. There was a cover but it was rattling with the wind. Otherwise, clean and comfortable!

The rooms are beautifully clean and modern. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The only downside was there is not a lift to get to the second floor with your luggage and post chemotherapy this was also challenging.
