Loved our time, The indoor pool was great since it’s winter kids can still play
Surinder Pal Singh
Clean and spacious room
Hanan
Staff were really nice. Spa in the room looked clean but when filled up water told a different story and saw floating hairs in the water. Didn’t use the spa for that reason. also saw some old crackers under the bed. When we walked into the room it smelt like Chlorine, which they obviously use to clean the rooms. Not the best smell to walk into. Indoor pool was a tad cold for a winter day, so didn’t spend too much time in it. Tried watching tv at night but it kept playing up around 8:30pm -9 pm, I think the tvs in the other rooms might have been connecting to our tv and when trying to use their tv it was impacting our tv. Overall for budget accommodation, I think it was good value and would stay again.

Late check in was accommodated by leaving the key in the room with the heater on.

Paula
Our freezer door in the mini fridge wouldn't freeze the ice cubes for us. Cracked tiles in the bathroom, missing cups, near by laundry room was out of order, our room wasn't serviced properly. Rubbish was taken away but towels weren't replaced, beds weren't straightened, tea bags & toilet paper weren't topped up.
Rachael
Easy check in room clean, though there were no spare towels or blankets. Room had wet carpet from back door to bathroom door from rain coming under door. Carpet smells.
Room big and spacious. Stretcher bed was like sleeping on a concrete slab.
Otherwise ok for the price.

The property itself was great and Ray the Manager was extremely helpful.
Unfortunately we stayed on a long weekend with various sporting teams and the noise at night was terrible till 2.am.
Not conducive to a good night's sleep.
On speaking to Ray about it in the morning he advised us that he had gone and spoken to the noise makers. Sadly it didn't help much we thak him for his efforts

The Bell Tower Inn was just fantastic! The room was very clean and tidy. The staff were amazing and friendly. The biggest draw card for me was the indoor pool which did not disappoint at all. I swam for a few hours. Very clean and tidy. Thank you Bell Tower in for a lovely stay. Will definitely be back.

Monica
This is by far the most comfortable and well set up place of accommodation I have ever stayed in. Had toaster kettle, bar fridge & microwave which was great. Heating worked & electric blanket was lovely. Bed was comfortable & blankets warm enough. Parking right outside room made it easy to unpack & pack up. Didn’t use pool but kids would love it all year round. I will be back for another stay when running in a race again.

The on site dryer was a god send after our clothes were wet from a day out.
The staff were friendly & accommodating to our requests.
The indoor pool was great for the kids to unwind & warm up on the cold winter Ballarat weather.

Lovely room and easy to find
Easy to find. Was a spacious room with 1 queen and 1single bed. Comfy beds, hot shower. Big bathroom. Free WiFi but if you wanted Netflix etc you had to use your own account. Kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and toaster. Electric blankets. Heater was good. Indoor heated pool. Staff were helpful and friendly. Easy parking. Motel has a restaurant or you can go to Lazy Moes next door with yummy food.

Deborah
It's a nice motel, very spacious rooms. I used to hold events here years ago. It is now becoming dated, the rooms need an upgrade and the restaurant they lease too has a 3 star rating so not amazing, however I would still stay here again because I know the place.
Jade
Comfortable and quiet. Staff friendly. Ideal for a quick stopover.
Myles

Graeme
Nice big room, well fitted out and very clean
Timothy
Our stay was amazing rooms were clean and exactly what we were after. The staff were super polite and helpful with plenty of dining options it’s definitely one to recommend. Only knock would be the spa which was freezing
Stacey
It was perfect for our needs and would stay again.
Erica
Whilst a bit dated, the room was very large, clean and comfy.
It was a bit tricky to use the pool as it was locked when I went to use it and was told that only the owner had a key. I chose this hotel because of the heated pool.
Check out was at 10am, yet staff knocked on the door to clean it at 9.40, a bit weird.

The motel was adequate. It was very dated and in need of some repairs and upkeep inside and out.
Our toilet started to leak after a couple of uses during the night and we had to put towels down
to soak up the water.

It was nice and quiet, spa bath could only be used as a bath not the spa,
Few marks on walls and roof, and the toilet is loose and not secure to floor

We love how quiet it is, and calm. The rooms are spotless and cosy or cool, depending on weather. Our highlight is always the pool, the kids are in it from the time we get there to the time we leave. We've been here many times before and will continue to return when we visit Ballarat in the future
