Close to town

We were staying in Ballarat to run the marathon the next day. The Alfred was perfect. Super friendly staff, clean, quiet, great beds, and all the facilities we needed.
The property was clean and well maintained. Rooms got everything we needed. Just a suggestion, if night lamps are there, it would have been great.
Just missing night lamps.
The bed was very comfy and the shower was hot and good water pressure
My room, and I guess the others, looked incredibly tired, dated, and old. Chipped wood, cracks in shower screen. I know this is just cosmetic, but it did feel a bit sad
Handy location, comfortable stay, owners very helpful.
Good location. Nice staff. No road noise.
The smell! The most awful smell. The smell got into my bags and all my clothing has come home smelling like the room. Tried perfume, air freshener and eucalyptus spray to get rid of the smell as all other accommodation was booked out for the weekend. Nothing worked!!
It has the family suite with two separate bedrooms
Pillows are too hard to sleep on, rooms feel quite draughty
Very clean, easy check in/check out.Quiet location
Location fine
Dirty, stinky, bugs in the beds, shower was disgusting.
Room was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay. Close to attractions for families. Overall happy with stay
The family room was very clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable. The receptionist was very kind and accommodating. The hotel is close to the town centre and lots of takeout and cafes around.
The shower was not clean. There was hair over the walls and dirt on the floor I had to wash the shower myself. The cutlery was dirty, The cleaning sponge was mouldy. Apart from these few things everything else was great and clean.
Very convenient location - it was only a few minutes drive to Ballarat central, it was surprisingly quiet considering it was just off a major thoroughfare too! The check in and check out was easy and smooth, we had to leave very early the following day and it was a simple case of drop the key card off in the box on the way out. Plenty of room for my family, beds were comfy, no complaints at all! Did exactly what we wanted the room to do.
Nothing!
Peter Was very obliging and only pleased to be of help.The beds were extremeley comfortable. The shower was wonderfully hot and the Room was spotlessly cleanLook forward to our stay in a few weeks time .We liked the new comfortable carpet through outThanks PeterRegards Stephanie
I could not thonk of anything
Friendly, helpful staff.The pool on hot day.Clean room.Typical motel for quick overnight stay.
Room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was also very quiet with little roadside noise overnight and no intruding noise from people in other rooms.
Although the facilities and furniture are in good condition, they do look a bit dated
Very pleased with our short stay, after a mad dash from the Spirit of Tasmania to the motel the owner was very friendly
Not being able to stay longer!!
Cosy , clean, motel owners are so nice and friendly
