Guest Reviews

Phil (8/5): - Old motel, nice quiet A/C, bed, hot water all good. Bit pricey for the moderate level of comfort. Clean and good ventilation as there was a stink of deodorant. Would stay again for a good night sleep, but would negotiate for better deal.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice venue, dated furnishings and no hairdryer. Hot water took 10 minutes to heat up to a decent temperature.
Verified traveler (2/5): Worst hotel ever - Booked through wotif many times, the place was disgusting, room was filthy, heater nobs missing, door handles missing, only three lounge chairs in a family room for four ppl and the weekend manager said in his opinion it's less than a three star rating... had to leave our key on doorstep as we left as specified on a note at the front locked reception door... pathetic
Sarah (4/5): - The staff was friendly, polite. The beds were on wheels... on a smooth, flat surface. We rolled ALL OVER THE ROOM. The joke wore thin pretty quickly. My daughter fell off her bed a few times. The beds were so slippery they were near impossible to sleep on. There was also only one blanket between two sheets - not suitable for this area in winter. We were cold. The WiFi password didn’t work for the internet. No value for money.
Steve (8/5): Spacious rooms with a quiet country outlook. - The rooms at the front with the lovely views out to the Victorian countryside are the pick. It seems previous issues regarding hot water (which I noticed mentioned on older reviews) have been sorted. The room we stayed in had been recently renovated judging by the modern decor and floating floor.
irene (8/5): - Nice hotel room was good and had a good sleep no real traffic noise, the shower was a little slow to get hot but was ok
Verified traveler (2/5): Staff very rude - Staff did not want to help with enquiries. The room wasnt as stated. I was never rude in return. I just dtsted the facilities weren't what thd advertisement stated.
Dan (6/5): - The room was very spacious Bed was nice just hard for us Only thing we weren’t to happy was the water pressure well a lack of and the amount of time it took to get hot (no cold needed)
Moonus (6/5): - We first got the wrong room but the man in the office was happy to change it to one we ordered. They came into our room the next day and emptied the bins, replenishing the toilet paper rolls, turned off our heater but didn’t make the beds. Would have loved the heater on when returned back that evening.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Price versus quality i this motel is good. Very friendly and flexible staff.
john (6/5): - Inexpensive, off main track, no fuss, all that was needed for short stay.
Rachel (10/5): Outskirts of Ballarat - Great stopover for the night, nice and quiet and very comfortable.
Rebecca (6/5): Clean & friendly staff - Staff were friendly & happy to wait as we were going to be late for check in. Room was clean & linen fresh but beds need brakes as they rolled around a lot. It appears that management are refurbishing the rooms & if that is correct I think it will look fantastic.
Ilze (4/5): - Very run down. Staff could not issue me a receipt for the full amount paid as we were told a commission was to be paid to website who advertised. This has not happened at any motel we have stayed at previously.
Valmai (4/5): Quiet motel - We were disappointed with the facilities. We were lucky to be provided with half a glass of milk which was not replaced. There was 2 cups 2 mugs and 2 sauces and 2 teaspoons, a toaster, jug and microwave. No plates for toast. Microwave had to be moved to reach power point.
sue (6/5): mattress - TOO FAR FROM TOWN AND NEEDS UPDATING AND NEW MATTRESSES
Tanya (6/5): Cheap and cheerful without the cheap - Very clean, neat and tidy but overpriced for an older style motel - bathroom exhaust fan and wall lights no longer worked - a peaceful location with lovely wheat field across the road, mattress a little ordinary.
Kel (8/5): Great hospitality - Great location just out of Ballarat, clean & comfortable, very friendly staff, a very affordable price
Anne (6/5): Away from everything - The Motel itself was Ok and it was clean and comfortable but I hadn't realised there was nothing near it. It was very hard to find - a problem with GPS which owner said often happened. Poor Wifi but in fairness it wasn't promoted as having wifi.
Sam (8/5): Great place for a stop over - The owner was super friendly and helpful staying up late to let us in and cater for all the Crows fans driving over. Thank you.
Sandra (2/5): Very Dissapointing - No tea/coffee facilities Not enough towels for beds Room was not clean Beds were not made properly One roll of toilet paper for 5 of us No shower toiletries
Verified traveler (4/5): Needs refurbishing badly - Definitely would never stay again. Toilet leaking, air conditioner soo noisy, terrible bed, motel yard was a disgrace. Manager was friendly
Jodie (10/5): A1 hospitality feom the hotel owners - I was late on arrival with my family, crying upset baby, and the hotel owners stayed up 1hr and 15mins after their night time close. They greeted my family with such kindness and had put the heater on in our room for us. The next morning they sent us off with such happy smiles. It was a pleasure to stay at the Cardigan Lodge Motel. I would definately stay there again.
Verified traveler (4/5): Shocker - Not the room I booked, old cold and bare. Below par for the rate I paid. Very disappointed in Wotif and the motel
Joel (10/5): Great place for basic needs. - Arrived late. Host very welcoming. Place was a little out of the way and felt like I was driving into the never-never but everything was perfect once I arrived. The host got me a microwave and made sure I was looked after. Clean and friendly and well worth the $40 saving from staying in a centrally located motel.
Skye (10/5): Clean & cosy - Our family (2 adults, 2 children) had a wonderful stay at Cardigan Lodge Motel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It's an older style motel that has all that you need and is pet friendly, although you couldn't tell as there was no dog odour or audible barking).
leonie (6/5): - clean room, quiet position on a Monday night, milk in fridge sour and frozen, no tissues, no lights when entering room - manager found fault on circuit board and replaced foyer light, shower head needs to be checked as very hard to adjust height for tall people
Verified traveler (4/5): Very standard - We stayed one night, had our 4 children with us, two being 10 months old and crawling- they were on the floor playing when we notice nice/rat poo on the floor around the beds!! Disgusting!!!!!!
Phoebe (8/5): Our weekend in Cardigan Village - We had a lovely time the manager could not be more helpful
B (6/5): Convenient Location - Nothing was an inconvenience for the friendly welcoming Owners and/or staff; very flexible in meeting customer's requirements whether it be extra late check in/out times or just an extra towel. Ample & secure parking. Would be happy to stay again.
Verified traveler (6/5): Far away from the main centres - not as expected. TV wasn't working at all. could not watch the Australian open. tried everything possible to make the signal reception work but still no success. I therefore recon more improvement is required. Do not know whether the swimming pool is treated or not.
leo (6/5): Nice & quiet location - Nice location. Unfortunately showing signs of its age. Beds aren't flat, toilet didn't flush properly, fridge door didn't close properly. On our last night, there was a bug issue and they were able to get into our room. No wifi was an issue as Internet service was slow. Could do with modernising.
Lorraine (4/5): Only stay here if desperate - Booked 2 rooms on 10/12/16, rooms next to each other. Room 21 had duct tape on both inside and outside of glass door, not sure why, was very cold and had to have heater going all night. Cold water tap had a slow run continually, couldn't turn off,( told manager/caretaker next morning and he thanked me as he stated people don't let them know if there is a problem.),only chill off hot water, to cold for shower next morning. l would have expected that they be checked out for problems when cleaned. Room 22 in better condition but had to let shower run for ages to have a brief shower, microwave in that room was filthy. Doors to both rooms hard to open and lock. At least beds were clean and comfortable. VERY disappointed even though the triathlon was on during that weekend. Only hotel l have ever stayed in where we were not asked wether we enjoyed our stay, l have travelled a lot staying in hotels/motels, and wasn't expecting top of range. Have photos of door but cannot download from this computer.
Marilyn (8/5): Dog Friendly - We wanted somewhere for Sally the Dog - this motel fit the bill.
LE (4/5): Disappointing - I booked online knowing this was a budget motel but wasn't expecting it to be not clean, no glasses in the room & not the room I had booked. Also beware that although there is a dining room, it's never open.
Al (8/5): Nice and quiet - 4 night stay. Some things could do with some maintenance eg: sticking drawer. Lack of cupboard space. Lousy shower pressure. But overall these are minor and we were quite comfortable.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall was quite please with us stay - spacious rooms , friendly staff. However was quite disappointing that it was said at the time of the booking that we would have free internet - BUT did not have any internet facilities at all in the motel DVDs were available but the player was not working Please review the accuracy of the information on the website
Andrew (8/5): Nice hotel. Accepts pets. - Good stop over on the way home from Melbourne Royal show
Greg (6/5): Good location for a stop over - Very good value for money a+++
dani (8/5): It has what you need. - Friendly staff. Has everything you need. Quiet surrounds
Joanne (8/5): - Great for my little dog to be able to come along.
Verified traveler (8/5): Clean and reasonably priced - The bed was very soft and not very comfortable and unfortunately there was no kettle for our morning coffee. The room was perfect for our group with extra bedding and it was nice and warm. I would stay here again.
Graeme (6/5): Country motel outside Ballarat - Door did not lock, hot water took 6 minutes to reach the room, décor rather drab TV OK, air conditioner noisy
Jo (8/5): Great family room - We had a great room and would recommend to other families
Verified traveler (4/5): - Booked for 7 people, only six beds, no toilet paper.
Verified traveler (6/5): - It was ok for one night. Quite nice setting, quiet. Decor is a little aged.
alex (10/5): Nice and friendly staff! - I think what makes cardigan lodge so great so they are friendly caring and happy to be asked any questions! Not to mention letting our daughter stay (our dog!) When we are next up in ballarat I will be staying at. Cardigan lodge!
Emzcatgirl (10/5): Very pleasantly situated motel, with good accomoda - Really enjoyed our weekend stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Provided to us appliances we would require during our stay. Room was cosy, comfortable and very pleasant. Really enjoyed the sunset and sunrise views from our room. Located along the beautiful Avenue of Honour. Shops are close by. Will be staying there again on our next visit to Ballarat.
Maz (6/5): Dog friendly - We were comfortable and being able to have our little dog stay with us in his dog box was great . A bit sorry we had to go to the pub for dinner and didn't seem to have breakfast available, lucky we had something with us.
Verified traveler (6/5): ok for short stay - Room was great size for 3, bathroom though newly renovated had no toilet roll holder and water flow in shower was virtually non existent. But all up more positives than negative and would most likely stay again thank you
