Quest Ballarat
Clean rooms. The room I was in the bathroom was nothing special but you have everything you need in the room. I rate it, I’ll be going back. Parking on site is not ideal. It’s shared with the apartments out back, so first in first served otherwise street parking is your only option.

Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre
The restaruant area and food , staff and quality of service was excellent but the room, although clean, and quiet and quite roomy was "very tired" and is certainly in need of a refresh. The bathroon area certainly is in need of a real update.
