This motor inn is now called Lakeside, locating it the property by its name certainly was confusing. Despite paying for a lake view room with a balcony , I was booked in to an old box room overlooking a carpark and missing a balcony. The bathroom floor floods after each shower and the cold slippery floor tiles are definitely a hazard as the little square of bath mat isn’t adequate.
This is the first time I am not assigned the type of room I have paid for through Trip. Perhaps I will think twice making the same booking again.
Excellent location. Very clean with good facilities including a very comfortable bed & a roomy, modern bathroom. The adjoining hotel bistro was a welcome bonus. Would definitely stay here again. The only negative aspect was noisy guests upstairs in the early hours of the morning…just a bit annoying.
We arrived in Bendigo by train and walked to the motel which was a 15minute walk and the location was great. Staff were friendly and let us check in early and asked us which milk we want and told us about the lookout tower step counting challenge. The room was great and the only downside was the absence of a shower curtain and there were no overhead lights. There were more than enough towels and soap a toothbrush and toothpaste as well as Shampoo and other toiletries were all provided. The table was small but had cutlery a toaster, kettle, microwave, tea coffe and a fridge. They also have breakfast starting from $8 but we decided not to opt. If they had a stove you could probably stay there for a week but without one it’s perfect for a overnight stay or 2 night stay.

Facilities: After all, it is an old hotel with a good location. There are entertainment and dining areas on the first floor, and the rooms are large. I saw that there were double rooms, but suddenly it was no longer available. It feels strange to have 2 people sleeping in 3 beds
Hygiene: It's OK, clean and tidy, but it doesn't feel like it is regularly maintained
Environment: Classic, good location, close to the train station, within walking distance
Service: There is no front desk reception, and you only need to throw the key into a box when checking out. It is convenient

We stayed here for one night and the bed was comfortable and the amenities clean and the service was great. We also enjoyed our stay there with a delicious meal from their restaurant. It was a wonderful way to complete our overnight stay with a great meal and the service was excellent here also. I enjoyed a beautiful Caesar Salad with chicken. They have a wide selection of choices for you to choose from as well as an excellent range of wines and non alcholic drinks. It is within easy walking distance of Bendigo City as it is just located on the outskirts of the inner CBD - so location and a great service and wonderful food makes it a great place to stay.
Large well furnished room with large spacious bathroom. Walkin shower. Pleasant view from full door/windows to inner courtyard with pool surrounded by green grass. Enjoyed watching some families of ducks walking around there in the morning. Appreciated the tea and coffee ammenities. Everything was clean and neat. The Lake was just opposite for a walk around in the morning after checkout before enjoying a coffee and jam donut! Reception staff were friendly and very helpful.
Cute little hotel at the back of Wine Bank . Very compact room directly outside the back seating area , so if that had been busy people would have been dining and drinking directly outside our window, but this area wasn’t being used even on a Friday . Bed was very comfortable . Bathroom very small but perfectly clean and tidy . Great location to be able to walk around town without driving .
I ordered 3 rooms for the weekend for 6 adults. Needed a queen, double and family room. Booked online and received a confirmation email of the three room booking. We would arrive Saturday and leave Sunday. I booked 3 weeks in advance. On Thursday before the weekend I got a phone call from the hotel. It was explained they only had two rooms available. I explained I need 3 rooms and was told there was nothing else available. No apology, nothing, in fact I found the man who called quite rude considering it is the hotels error. Simply all I could get was those two rooms. Poor work on the hotels behalf as apparently my booking only had 2 rooms. I have attached part of the confirmation for my booking. Confirming the three rooms, which I booked on the hotels website so their only excuse is they lost part of my reservation. DO NOT BOOK UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR RESERVATION LOST TWO DAYS BEFORE YOU ARE MEANT TO ARRIVE!!

MMelbourneChrisThe location was good, about 15 minutes walk to the city centre, with a Woolworths nearby. Although my room was at the back, there was a lot of noise from the road. The room was dark and gloomy though fairly comfortable and well equipped. There was a large communal table outside my door where a group of guests congregated, shouting and swearing and being generally rowdy - including on their return from a night out at 3am. When I left my room I had to step over the pile of beer cans they left behind. I won’t be returning.
GGuest UserDinner here mid week and boy was it busy. Huge bistro, conference rooms and resort all in one. Staff are very good, quick and efficient. it is very noisy of there are lots of large tables. But hey, its a bistro. The area to order food is confused. Everyone lines up right in front of the walkway from the main entrance to the bistro. Its a shame they dont move the order area around the corner where two greeters stand in a huge area - called reservations. Much better suited to food ordering. The bar seems busy as well. Lots of large TV's, gaming room (of course). Good selection of food. Came out quick and cooked as ordered. Good place to have a meal and recommended.
We stayed a night in a Deluxe Room in Hermitage House. The room was huge, as was the bathroom, and had expansive views out over the vineyards, as well as some of the glamping tents in among the eucalypts and passing kangaroos at dusk. Our stay included a free wine tasting at the cellar door, covering most of Balgownie's extensive range. We also dined in the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast - both of which were very good. A relaxing and enjoyable stay.
I booked a 2-day stay for a family outing with kids. The only reason I chose this hotel was the heated pool and jet spa, which were mentioned in the reviews and hotel description. I read a lot of reviews on the internet before booking. The moment I stepped into the hotel, I started to wonder if these reviews were about this property. The exterior looked like an outdated, below-average motor inn. The front desk was not friendly. The first question was, “Have you stayed here before?” I said no, and then he told me I could go to the first floor using the stairs or the lift near the reception. He provided no other information about any of the amenities. The corridors were dusty and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months. The room was not neat, with outdated furniture and carpets. However, I was not aware that this was just the beginning of my disappointments. As I mentioned earlier, my preference was for the pool for my kids, so I ignored all the above and went to check the pool. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, and the water was so cold. The receptionist said the heating system was damaged. The kids were very disappointed, and I thought I could make them happy with the jet spa inside the bathroom. I filled the water, and when they switched on the jet, the whole unit went dark as the main power switch went off. I tried to call the reception through the hotel phone but failed, then I tried from my mobile, but it went to voicemail. I went and spoke with the receptionist. He came and had a look and told me he couldn’t do anything to fix the jet. I was thinking, why did I book this hotel? There is a nice hotel very close to this property. After two days of an unpleasant stay, when I went to check out at the reception, no one was there. After waiting and ringing the call bell several times, I left the key at the reception and again went to the first floor and wandered around looking for the receptionist. At last, I found him, told him about the key, and left. Very unprofessional hotel. Stay away.
NNav NatI stay two nights in total at the Mercure Bendigo Schaller during Grand Prix Weekend. This was my first time travelling to Bendigo. I was very satisfied with the outstanding customer service and the very friendly staff here at the hotel. Location of hotel was good with central access to everything in town. Rooms are quite small and bathroom is almost like a dorm but I must say it was very clean. It would be great if there was a streaming service or casting available with the TV. My Bed was a little uncomfortable but I still managed to sleep in. There is very limited car spaces availble on site but parking is availble next door to hospital and is only $8 a day. Overall I was quite satisfied with everything and enjoyed my time here in Bendigo. I will most likely stay here again and would definitely recommend to friends and family.
BBrenton PWe stayed for 2 nights on a recent trip. The room and bathroom were both very clean. We found the bed to be comfortable and, although near the road, did not notice the traffic noise. Overall a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. Finally, we realised a day later we had left a pillow in the room. On contacting the motel we were able to arrange to have the pillow posted back to us. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and cooperative in arranging the return the pillow for which we are very grateful. We were very happy and thankful for the extra time and effort the young lady put in.
GGuest UserThe room is quite large. The bed is comfortable and the shower is hot. It is a traditional motel with limited facilities; however, there is an indoor pool which we did not try. The distance from the center of town is about 4 kilometres. I can highly recommended this hotel.
The Motel room was clean,comfortable and modern,interesting feature- a code is needed to put into the door to get into your room ( No key). Had a cosy feeling but the bathroom was very tiny and the dishes,cups and glasses you had to wash yourself in the bathroom sink no room service as per say as far as that is concerned. There is a certain amount of trust in the previous guest to do the right thing I guess. On the Monday morning a male Room attendant came to rouse you out to make sure you were out by 10 a.m, and also to clean the rooms. This Motel is a good place to lay your head for the night and for a single traveller on their own. The shower needs a lot to be desired as it is tiny and the shower door just opens enough to be able to get inside and you have to step down to get in to the recess and step up to get out. The owners have done a nice job to renovate the rooms, but with no Front Office person on site it is a bit disconcerting.
