Clean room and comfortable bed. Nothing special. Would’ve been great if there was a toaster in the room which is a staple of all motor inns these days especially when you’re self-catering on a Sunday morning for brekky. There were limited breakfast options on Sundays in a town like Ballarat.

I enjoyed my stay in the standard queen room and will stay again. It was quiet. Appeared really clean and only spotted a couple of minor cobwebs. Bathroom very clean but no bath plug. Bed was super comfy and linen fresh and clean.
