Stayed 2 nights in a King room and everything was presented as advertised. Exceptionally clean and well maintained, nice room amenities. Hassle free check in and out. Easy walking distance to main street and traffic noise was minimal even being on the main hwy side. I would recommend 👌.

Arrived on a wet cold day to a very warm reception. The room was large and comfortable. The location is good and was easy to find. Car parks are large, and there is plenty of space between cars to get all your gear out. Overall, it was a good stay and I would use them again if staying in Ararat.
