Mid City Ballarat

6/10 Okay

"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."
