Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre

First time stay with my family. The hotel is very easy to find, plenty of parking spots for your car, the property itself is quite large. Hotel is about 11 minutes from Sovereign Hill. Our room was number 3, very spacious, king size bed and a separate single bed. Split system heating/air-conditioning, nice clean bathroom, private undercover carport , basic bar fridge with tea and coffee etc... Staff very friendly and professional. We didn't have dinner at the hotel restaurant but the menu look fantastic. Had breakfast which was $26 Aus, good price I think for a buffet. Breakfast buffet had your bacon, hash brown, egg cooked your way, fresh cut fruits, organic tea, coffee machine and automatic fresh pancakes maker Overall, it was a great stay and will definitely come back

We booked a superior room. Really clean loads of space. Shower didn’t have a screen so water does go all through the bathroom. Shower towel rail is really low and not enough for such big bath sheets. Service was great and location second to none.

Both location and service are satisfied, not a bad option if you are looking for a place to rest and sleep for a night in the middle of your road trip. You are able to park your car right next to the room, and the room is spacious. Just, it is quite aged that feels like you've backed in time to explore the gold rush history in person.
