The room was clean, but a very strong odour of cleaning products when we entered. Had to air the room out for a while. But we did checkin early. The one negative was the open shower with no barrier of water getting on the floor of the bathroom.

Nicely appointed room looking out to small garden and road. However extremely quiet as road itself quiet. 10 minute walk from city centre. Room very clean and added comfort of an electric blanket. Will definitely stay again.

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.
