It's actually good for the price - has everything but held in various places you have to find; our aircon was held together with sticky tape & there was little heat eventhough we had it on 27degrees C all night. The bedding is made up of a sheet & blanket type covers. Very difficult to move. Our friend next door had an electric blanket. We didn't.

There was not one thing that could have been done better. Little things like plenty of bench space, chairs with arm rests, electric blankets, Foxtel and internet access. Expectations around the basics like cleanliness, and creature comforts were all exceeded,prompting this- my first ever revue.

Blackout blinds and curtains plus a very comfy bed meant I slept very well. Coffee maker with pods was unexpected bonus. Lovely bathroom was ultra clean with big towels. Rooms 1-6 have carport width roof behind them, so I could unload my car out of the rain. At the end of town but eating places just 3mins drive away, and staff advised where was good. Overall, excellent value for money.

Stayed at Ararat Motor Inn and overall, it’s a good place to stay. Our booking was ‘upgraded’ from a single queen bed to a twin setup, which felt a bit odd for a couple. Honestly, I couldn’t notice much of an upgrade. On the positive side, the Wi-Fi was stable and fast, and the bed linen was fresh and comfortable. However, the towels seemed a little worn out and could use an update.
