Unusual request ?
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, or been threatened with a $50.00 surcharge, applied to our account if we neglected to do so. I always quickly rinse dishes before leaving accommodation, but thought that, in the interest of complete hygiene, it would be expected that a properly trained staff member should attend to that chore.

Lovely room, poor sleep
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 until midnight. The office closed at 8.30pm and it wasn't until the morning when I complained on checkout that we were advised we could have called to complain at any hour as the owners lived on the premises. We can't understand how they weren't aware of this problem previously. Apart from this we liked the property and will likely try it again in the future avoiding that particular room.

Pleasant all round and close to the lake
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. Level access to the lake - 5 minutes walk away.

More then just a motel
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 in Ballarat then the Best Western Lake Inn!!

INCREDIBLY RUDE AND HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
When I first called to book the woman I spoke to was incredibly rude but I put it down to a bad day. When we got there we were given a different room to what we booked but we decided to make the best of it. We get back and were unable to use the wifi as its paid for and only available during office hours when description said included. We then wake up to massive water damage which had damaged and soaked our items in the room. We complain and the relief manager says he'll get the managers to call me Tuesday, no phone call. I called them Friday morning and the male manager is the rudest man I have ever spoken to and does nothing but abuse me, the woman manager then gets on the phone and says all they'll do is a discount off a future stay. Like I'd give them another cent!
