I stayed here for 3 nights after reading positive reviews on trip advisor. What a mistake! Yes it is cheap and reasonably clean, but the bed was honestly the worst one I have ever slept in. It sagged in the middle and was very uncomfortable. In fact I have had to have chiropractic treatment on my return home to get... More

We stayed here for one night on the way to Melbourne from Adelaide. I had rung up a few other motels, hotels and caravan parks but I was not prepared to pay between $180-$240 for 1 night. I managed to get a phone number for the Avenue Motel and was impressed with the price. It was only for 1 night... More

After reading some of the reviews I was not sure of quality to expect. The reality is we could not have been happier. The service was warm, friendly and genuine. We travel a lot and found this room to be of very good quality for the price. Everything in the room was exceptionally clean and it was a pleasure to... More

We were on a road trip from Adelaide to Melbourne and stay one night at the Avenue Motel. The service was brilliant and the cost was absolutely the best around. We will definitely stay at Avenue Motel Ballart for our next visit soon. Strongly recommend

I booked this motel basically because it was cheap. I really wasn't expecting too much, so I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. The owners were lovely and welcoming. The rooms were clean, with all the basic necessities. I've stayed in more expensive, higher rated places in Ballarat and after staying at the Avenue, I can't think of anything that... More

I was a bit nervous when I opened the door to the room (after getting a lung full of the smell in the reception area) & it turns out that was for good reason! The room was very small, very musty & very smelly. A mix it seemed of stale smoke & dog urine. There was what appeared to dog... More

Word is the rooms stink. The carpets smells and the manager do not agree. If a room smells (I think they stink) then they have a problem and will not refund customers who complain .

The couple with their child checked in at 3pm and wanted a refund at 9pm later that night, claiming that the room 'stinks'. We would have been happy to refund them if they came to us as soon as they checked out the room. However the bed, shower, tea and coffee had already been used, and they obviously spent quite... More

My fiance and I woke up the next morning to find bites all over our legs from bugs in the sheets. Firstly we found silver fish in the bed covers and after seeing a doctor we were informed we were bitten by fleas.There were rips in the bath towels, tears in the bed sheets, black mold in the shower and...

I remember this customer clearly as she was quite unreasonable. At first, she claimed that she was suffering from insect bites from the room she was staying in. I was doubtful of her claim since no other customers have ever complained about such an issue in any of the rooms. On good faith, we agreed to change rooms for her.... More

Having recently stayed at another budget accomodarion in Ballarat, I wasn't expecting much from this place, thankfully though, I was pleased to find a nice, air-conditioned, modern room! Very simple but everything you need is there, the owner was very friendly when checking in and out and you could park your car right at your door. The only downside I... More

We basically needed a bed for a night and this represented the best value in Ballarat and was only 5km from the city centre. At $82 for a Saturday night, this was perfect. The decor was bright (blue and white) and comfortable and well fitted with bar fridge, microwave, iron, kettle, cups and coffee and tea supplies. Electric blankets provided... More
