The setting of the Motel is reminiscent of 'Old Ballarat'; pub on the corner (which has excellent food) and accommodation out the back.

I have stayed at Seymours on many occasions. The on-site manager is always very welcoming, efficient and helpful. The room I stayed in on this occasion (as with past rooms on past occasions) was spacious, clean and very well resourced.
I will happily stay again at Seymours in Ballarat when I am next in town.
Thank you.

Excellent location, walking distance to the city centre. The room was comfortable but needs updating Beds were comfortable, except the pillows were a bit flat and no extra ones were in the room, not a big deal in the whole skeem of things. Value for money though. It does need a good make over but you get what you pay for. I would stay there again.

Just ok
The rooms were meant to have soundproofing but the people staying above us sounded like they were jumping on the floor until late at night and then again early in the morning, making sleeping difficult, parking was great and checkin instructions were great and the room was clean, bed was hard and uncomfortable. It was easily accessible to the things we needed in Ballarat.
The staff were lovely upon checking in and out and the room for the most part was good. Great heating with the split system.
The only thing I would note is that the bathroom (shower/bath area) probably needs a bit of a renovation. Definite signs of water damage especially with the floor between the two. Vanity and toilet side were fine though. Also, as someone from a different part of the state I struggled with the chlorine levels in the water as they are much higher than my area. Eyes were stinging like I’d gotten out of a pool when showering. This isn’t the accommodations fault but it’s worth noting.
All in all my stay was good but definite room for improvement

Will be back
It was a nice clean place, with a large space. I only had two concerns:
On one of the wooden rails of the stairs wood is being rotted away underneath the paint, leading into the railing to move under my hand.
Some of the metal covers was missing in the spa bath.
Was a lovely place and very close to town, will be back to stay
