Thank you for your assistance.

I would like to share some feedback that may help improve the experience for future guests. It would be great if you could create a more pleasant outdoor environment around the hotel, such as adding more trees, gardens, or green spaces.

I would also strongly recommend improving the security of the room door locks. Having safer and more secure locks is very important for guests’ safety and peace of mind.

Thank you for considering my feedback.

The rooms could be updated. I did not see or interact with any staff. Tried to call several times after check-out with no answer. Cost seemed excessive for what was provided and it didn't seem particularly safe. Personal items in car park tampered with overnight. However, check-in was easy, amenities straightforward to use and pet friendly rooms a bonus.

The motel room was clean and tidy and comfortable.
The cabin was a work in progress. The main bed has slats as base and collapsed and needs maintenance. The bathroom and kitchen are relatively new and very clean. The other bedrooms are cluttered and not comfortable. The tv needs attention, behind the couches are stored pieces of timber.

Pleasant stay in classic motel

We booked this motel at the last moment because it was the only available pet-friendly place in Ballarat. We were very pleased with the experience. The reception was welcoming, the location handy on the main road into town (but quiet). The room was clean and well-supplied, with modern TV, fridge, microwave, and plenty of fresh bedding and towels. We'd definitely stay here again.

Pleasant Hilltop Accommodation

This property is well out of town so is removed from sources of food. A selection of order and deliver menus are available but the plates supplied to serve and eat the food were inadequate. But this seems to be a common situation for motels in this price range that includes a microwave in their facilities.

A good feature is the cost free laundry. Although the dryer was a bit slow it was would be churlish to complain as free laundry facilities are not common at motels.

But the room was clean and the bed comfortable with the room quite a good size for a couple.

We started would stay again

The reviews were accurate re this hotel, it was exactly what we expected. It wasn’t fancy, but we were looking for somewhere easy to stop for the night on the way from a late flight into Melbourne and to a birthday party in Mt Gambier. The location just off the highway was perfect, the auto entry made it easy as we arrived at 1am. It was clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable, just what we needed.

I liked the check in facilities and that you just needed a passcode to access your room. I thought that was so much easier than having a key.
The rooms were very tired and dated and the pressure in the shower was almost non existent. Did the job but it wasn’t the best accomodation I’ve stayed in

Easy check in / out using digital keylock.
However I may hv missed the info as it wasnt clear in the email, so was initially stumped on how to check out when the reception is closed, n no one answered the phone. Only after asking other visitors found out that check out at the counter/kiosk was not needed, just had to lock our door. Thus this could be 1 thing the team could improve in advising re: check out process - which unlike other motels, theres no need to go check out at the counter! :\")
