do not judge a book by its cover as is in this case. situated on the freeway behind a pub we did not expect much and was very pleasantly surprised by the newness and cleanliness of the room. the downside is slow/weak internet and the bed isn’t as comfy. for short stays near footscray & sunshine where we needed to be we were very satisfied.

Drove from SA wasn’t expecting the most luxurious place but oh my goodness! It was amazing! Staff were lovely and the room was perfect for two, only complaint would be the shower is showing its age by the floor tiles and probably needs to be replaced, but other than that, such an amazing place to stay and we will be coming again. Food was delicious, coffee was immaculate and thirsty camel was right there, it is definitely up there with heaven!

The reception guy was welcoming and helpful, the room was newly renovated and cozy, a/c was turned on when I first came in after a 8 hour ride in the cold and windy winter, the roo was nice and warm. However there was a strong cigarette smell across the whole room and I didn't sleep well for that reason, everything else was great and will consider to stay again.

We had everything we needed for an overnight stay at the Guiding Star motel. Easy check in and check out, rooms are very clean and fairly updated. For what we needed, it was perfect! A great location too - off the freeway from Ballarat side and close to the city.
