Stayed at the Lake Inn last week and thought it was wonderful : spotlessly clean, spacious, warm, beautiful bed, and very quiet. But we thought the notice above the sink was very unusual, actually quite amusing, but a little irritating. We've never, in many years' experience, all over the world, encountered a request to wash the dishes before we left,... More

The room and facilities were very good and the bed comfortable. The jarring thing for us was the noise of music and singing from the bistro. We were in room 15 on a Saturday night and, returning from a function just after 9.30pm were alarmed to hear the music and singing penetrating clearly into our room and it went on... More

One overnight stay in room 8 which was well decorated and modern in design. Room itself and shower room were both clean and pleasant to use. Room facilities were good too. Good breakfast menu that can be delivered across a range of times - the latest time being 9am. Attached restaurant/bar useful too. Staff helpful and friendly in both places.... More

I extend my sincere thank you to the staff at the Best Western Lake Inn. They were very helpful, informative and lovely people. The rooms were beyond a quality standard with a comfortable bed, foxtel, mini bar and a clean modern bathroom. I am highly recommending that my friends, family or anyone reading this review to stay no where else... More

Dear Charlene T, Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that you encountered some problems. We regret that you found a request for a credit card number to guarantee the booking to be rude as we feel that this is normal procedure at most hotels. There are two types of spa room, one larger and one smaller. We... More

Stay here quite often with work, very clean and modern hotel in a good location near the lake so if its good weather great spot for a jog or walk. Hosts are very welcoming, modern rooms,on site free car parking and great meals at the adjoining pub/restaurant.

The rooms are large, clean and comfortable and the meal was excellent so all in all it is a nice place to stay the night. There was some annoying noise so perhaps the walls are thin. We did not enjoy having to lug our suitcases up and down stairs either but in a two storey building that is unavioidable for... More

CrippAdvisor here... a wheelchair reliant traveller, so please understand this review has a social inclusive perspective. Wheelchair access...

Lake Inn Motel, Ballarat. The Lake Inn is close to Lake Wendouree (although hardly overlooking it!). This makes it a short distance from the city, but gives it a more relaxed environment. The Motel is unexpectedly red brick and two-storeyed, and perhaps a little foreboding from the outside. However Reception was friendly and welcoming, and our downstairs unit was very... More
