Chose this hotel for a business symposium due to its convenient location and modern facilities. Staff was welcoming, room was clean and well-equipped, and the free WiFi was reliable for work tasks.

Lack of a dedicated meeting room for business conferences would have been beneficial for a more professional setting during the symposium.

The room at Barkly Motorlodge was cozy and well-equipped, which made me feel at ease. the comfortable bed and free WiFi were a plus, making our stay enjoyable.

The lingering smell of mold in the room was a downside for me.

the location was convenient for local attractions, and the bed was comfortable. I'd recommend this hotel.

Duncan and Robert were so friendly and helpful. Room was comfy too. Would come again! Photos don't do justice.

room at barkly motorlodge was spotless - looked brand new. very central spot makes it easy to explore. loved having a microwave for quick meals. staff was helpful - letting us check in early and fixing heating. cozy bed and fresh linens made for a comfy stay.

Strongly recommend.

An unexpected symphony of sounds greeted me at this property—rumbling traffic, exuberant neighbors, even a leaky bath! the pillow menu, alas, is nonexistent. A quirky detail: We played "Guess That Noise” in bed—one morning; the neighbors provided the soundtrack. the walls, thinner than wafer cookies, hosted a surprising midnight performance. Cheers to that.

The location was convenient, with easy parking. The room was clean and the bed comfy, but outdated and smelly. Thin walls made it noisy. The bathroom had issues, and the neighboring guests were loud. the friendly staff made up for it.

Comfortable stay with friendly staff, clean linen and ample storage space. While the lack of maintenance, minimal housekeeping, and noisy neighbors were drawbacks, the location, comfortable beds, and cleanliness made the stay enjoyable overall. the hotel would benefit from improving noise control and addressing maintenance issues for a more pleasant experience.

Conveniently located near CBD, ground floor rooms provide privacy with clever bed layout. Impeccably clean rooms with no odors, open windows, and close parking. Friendly staff offered late checkout. Excellent light-blocking blinds and comfortable, quality amenities.

the room was clean with a balcony and a small microwave handy for heating meals. location is convenient, just a short drive from the center. beds were comfortable, and the kids' beds were nicely separated from the queen size bed. we appreciated the option to check in early and the proximity to sovereign hill.

was all great ?

I loved my stay at Barkly Motorlodge in Ballarat with my 6-month-old baby. the ground floor rooms were convenient and well-designed for privacy. the cleanliness was exceptional, and the proximity to the CBD was a plus. the nearby attractions like Lydiard Street and Sovereign Hill were great for family bonding. the relaxation facilities enhanced our enjoyment, and the staff were friendly. the only downside was the noise from other rooms and rusted shower curtain rail.
