The Provincial is a beautiful old heritage hotel in a great location in Ballarat however since my last stay I can see that the love and care is not as good as it was and unfortunately the new owners did not have a liquor license yet so it felt as though the Hotel was just not firing on all cylinders.

This is a nice converted old pub with renovated rooms that a cozy and comfortable. Great for a quick trip and and overnight stay - 2 max but not really much nolonger. The only downside for me was that the room was tiny. Double bed in the corner. So too small for more than one person. very small cupboard in fact the coffee and tea were in the same tiny space as the cupboard.

The property had lovely tasteful decor which was a plus staying in that environment. Very clean also. It was disappointing that there was a problem with the liquor license but hopefully for them that will soon be rectified.
