The room was very spacious with a kitchenette, table and chairs along with a very comfortable couch. it was nice to have fresh milk offered on arrival for cuppers, a bonus. The bathroom was very clean although outdated and in need of some repair or upgrade. The shower was hot and had good pressure. I was surprised to find that the fridge was not turned on. only found out that the thermostat was turned right down when I returned later in the night and my drinks were still warm. worked well when on. lol. good value for money. Great to have some food shops close by.
I always have trouble with pillow height, they are generally too high. one way to fix that, bring my own pillow. Bathroom was old, but not unusual for older motels, everything worked and was clean.

Although seemed older type of accommodation, room was very clean, good size, bathroom compact and workable, towels soft with fluffiness, bed comfortable, pillows also. Frig with freezer, tho small had good temperature in frig and freezer. Small shopping centre very close with choice of takeaways plus bakery from morning to mid afternoon. Warren was helpful at check in and had turned on heater to warm room prior to our arrival. Would stay there again.
Television did miss a few free to air channels.

Excellent check in after a long drive. Very pleasant owners who are clearly ready to please. The hosts were kind enough to pre warm my room on a cold and rainy day. I was very impressed with the service. Crisp sheets and pleasant window furnishings were appreciated. Local (next door) pizza, fish and chips and..... a bottle shop. Perfect!! 👍
There was nothing to complain about. Given the age of the facility and the incredible value, there was nothing that I was disappointed with.

When I arrived I wasn't expecting anything flash. But I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, well appointed, clean, nothing was broken, and the bed was comfy as! I also arrived on a near 40 degree day and the lovely owners had been in and turned the air-con on before my arrival so I walked into a cool and refreshing room after my travel. Without a doubt one of the better hotels I've stayed at, and is now my go to motel if I ever stay in Ballarat again. Thankyou!
Ummm yeah. Not a single thing.

Friendly and welcoming staff, rooms were clean, bed comfortable, shower great.
No hand towel supplied. The shower was not enclosed, so splash from the shower went onto the floor outside the shower recess, and towards the toilet which was located directly opposite. An extra powerpoint or two would have been handy for things like plugging in CPAP machine and phone charger.

The Ambassador and their team exceeded our expectations. Although the building itself is older it is well kept and looks great. The interior is lovely and clean and very well presented. We were able to sign into our streaming services on the tv, which was great! The Ambassador will definitely be our go to for future visits to Ballarat.
I can’t think of anything to mention.

Room very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The motel was located on a main road but there was very little traffic noise. Motel was in a good central location and handy for getting to the places we needed to go to. The bed was good and comfortable.
There were a few funny noises coming from the fridge and airconditioning at times but this is not unusual. Couldn't seem to open the windows and if we could I don't think there were fly screens.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and warm when I arrived.
Personal preference only - The doona was very heavy and hot, and the additional blanket was also heavy. I went out and purchased a light weight blanket which fixed the problem. Bed was very comfortable once the bedclothes were right.

Easily accessible. Everything I needed. Friendly staff. Even asked if I’d like some fresh milk for my drinks but I’d already bought some. I hate UHT milk so that was a nice touch! They also prewarmed my room. I’d definitely go there again on my business trip stop over.
The old air conditioner was quite noisy cutting in and out while I was trying to get to sleep but at least I was warm and toasty.
