Great value for money
Old style motel but was very comfortable. Friendly reception. Large room. Comfy bed. Good shower pressure. Only complaint was size of TV and inability to watch YouTube but overall very good value for money

Cheap and convenient
Was cheap and convenient. Main issue was the parking, not enough. When arriving back at 11pm, I got the last space in the place and 2 other cars came after me to find no parking.

The hotel is a lovely old building, full of character. The lady on reception was very friendly and we were pleased with our room. Facilities were very clean. Would recommend this hotel.

Comfortable for a family of 4; close to supermarket, coffee shop and restaurants; close to Geelong city centre. Had meal prep facilities (like kettle, toaster, microwave, stovetop with crockery and utensils).

First thing to say is that the proprietors were excellent. Their service and friendliness made you feel at home with a speedy check-in and checkout. Rooms were spotless, a really comfortable bed and a choice of differant pillows to suit individuals. The room also had a couch for resting, which doesn't always occur in other locations. The bathroom could do with an update, however in saying this it was clean and functional. They are located midway between the CBD and Packington St. There is a bus stop outside if you need it. Next door is the Great Western Hotel with Woolworth on the opposite corner. A small group if takeaway shops as well as an Italian restaurant there. So if you are planning a trip to Geelong book a room stay a few nights. Its great value for money.

Reception was unattended for significant time. Another patron and myself had a lengthy wait to check in.
