We really appreciated the clean comfortable room, friendly staff, daily room servicing, happy hour and included buffet breakfast. While we didn't dine in the restaurant- dinner menu looked great. The staff always greeted us with a smile. The hotel was a fantastic base for our exploration of the Ballarat region. We will recommend this hotel to others considering staying in Ballarat.

The staff couldn’t have been better but the room I had was disgusting. It was a standard room on a very busy weekend. $340/night was ridiculous too. No hot water, dirty and smelly. Stains on basin, face washers filthy stains and shadow of the soap when I lifted that. It was so bad even though I was only sleeping there as I was watching a patient in hospital I left before my second night and found a much better place much cheaper. I’d love to know who owns this as I suspect obviously remotely owned or OS and don’t care or think this crap is normal. I would not recommend this to anyone.

First stay. This place is in a great spot. The staff are so friendly. Good parking. Great mini bar, breakfast and in room dining options. On the downside - the room I was in was half good and half bashed up. I find it hard to explain. For intance: lightfittings that hold two bulbs - one has it's cover, one exposed. Areas that paint touchups are everywhere. Not all lights working. Loosely hanging cords. What appeared to be a car radio installed in a beside table. All that said, the retro wall behind the mini bar is a leftover from the 70's and is spectacular! I can see they're updating. The bedding is clean, modern and appropriate. The carpet is new and fresh. The TV is smart and huge. The wall mounted reverse cycle machine is new. So I will stay again and see how they go over time.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed. Excellent location; and quiet.
The staff were pleasant and helpful, as usual.
The allocated room was on the nose so we were moved, without argument. The bed was comfortable, the TV worked, and there were the usual comforts.
The included breakfast was pleasant and sufficient. The table was clean.
Unfortunately the tariff reflects the state of repair. The Reception with its plant-wall and the lounge were stylish. We did not use the shower, the basin was stained, the tiling faulty, walls needed patching and painting, and something done with the coil of wiring. Proper cleaning and a bit of maintenance would transform the experience.

From the moment I made contact with the motel they were amazing, we were upgraded for free. The room was amazing, so clean. Bed was so comfortable, as were the pillows. Shower amazing as well.

Room was very old and dated, mattress cover was filthy, air vent in shower and fire sprinkler heads were covered in dirt and dust.
The blinds do not block out much light at all.
The air cons on the wall had black dirt marks all over them. There’s not even charger points up near the bed side tables, just a lamp and no power point to plug it into.
Unfortunately the room we stayed in really needs some a lot of work to get it anywhere near a decent review.
To add insult to the stay the reception desk was unmanned, we rang the phone and got a crackly response to wait and they will be quickly there. It then took 20mins for reception to arrive. No bacon on the breakfast menu either.

I was very comfortable at Mid City Motel. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It is quiet & protected & within walking distance of shops, eateries & all the central facilities. It has covered parking off the main street which is great. The staff were so helpful & friendly & supportive.
I will be staying here again on my next visit to Ballarat & happily recommend to others.

The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. The only thing that marred our stay was the level of outside lighting overnight, combined with poorly fitting curtains, so the level of light in the room made sleep very difficult. Blackout blinds or curtains would be a great addition.

The man at breakfast omg! we took 2 tea bags for our room because the hot water for tea was tepid. He rudely said he was not serving brunch! Breakfast was crap and limited to beans, scrambled eggs and cold mushrooms. On arrival no one in reception so when we finally got a key and The room was not made up from last night’s occupancy we had to wait find someone again for another room. She huffed about it. Lady, not my problem. If you can’t be nice to customers when it’s your mistake you need a career change! The motel is very poorly maintained, worn ammenities, peeling paint and damp walls. Looks like it was built in the 70’s & nothings been spent since then! The king size bed was comfortable & the towels good. There are so many better options around stay elsewhere.

The room we were allocated was in dire need of an upgrade and things did not work properly. The main light in the room had blown or was not working, the TV required several tries to turn it on/off, the button in the toilet needs replacing and the key entry did not always function. The staff were friendly and obliging but there were no public rubbish bins around the property.

Pleasantly surprised.

Very central location. Basic decor, but clean and tidy. A good selection in mini bar. Good menu in restaurant. Great breakfast included. The only thing missing is a lift for handicapped people. It meant my husband couldn't get to the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. We had to go elsewhere.

The included breakfast was great and it was very tasty.

It is a very convenient hotel in walking distance to many eateries.

There was only one tea bag when we arrived. No free biscuits but a selection of things to buy from the fridge.

It is very good value for money.
