### RACV Goldfields Resort

8/10 Good

"The resort its self is beautiful. The property needs to offer better parking especially for parents with prams being a child friendly property. The games room and arcade were a massive hit. The buffet breakfast was very nice and the actual food from the restaurant was nice too. Only fault would be the aircon was hard to control. Also the shower flooded with every single use as it was disability friendly. Overall a really nice stay."

### Quest Ballarat Station

8/10 Good

"Stayed in a multi room apartment, with accessible bathroom. The features of the room where as advertised, aside from one concerning oversight - the bathroom had no anti slip properties at all. For a person with significant mobility issues, and why the room was requested this was a significant oversight - the occupant slipped on the floor when transitioning from a wheelchair to the toilet and was not able to keep their feet steady because they were slipping around and ultimately injured themselves. The shower drainage trails infront of the toilet as well adding to the potential for a slip. Other than that the room was great, quite, clean and modern."

###  City Views Ballarat

6/10 Okay

"Great location and very convenient for a short stay. It’s within walking distance to a range of restaurants, and having McDonald’s, Coles and Big W nearby made everything really easy. The beds were comfortable, which made for a good night’s sleep. However, the room itself felt quite run down and had a noticeable “old” smell. Cleanliness could definitely be improved as there was visible dust build-up and even some lolly wrappers left in the corners. Overall, a convenient spot in terms of location, but the rooms would benefit from a refresh and more attention to detail when it comes to cleaning."
