Room was spacious and clean. The room was on the ground floor backing the main road and was noisy in the evening and early morning. The pool was dirty and unusable which was a disappointment as the weather was warm. The location of the hotel was quite good as it was about a ten minute walk to the town centre and a further five minute walk to the water. The price for two nights, including breakfast, was very reasonable. Staff were nice.

Hotel lobby staff were great but that’s kind of where it ends rooms. The rooms need some love and care. Very noisy and birds in the roof so noisy it sounded like they were in the aircon. If needing a good night sleep I do not recommend

The motel is already tired, it needs to be refurbished. Great location for dining and recreation as it close to the must visit places in Geelong. Also, we gave 2 stars on cleanliness because our room smelled like stinky feet, must be coming from the couch or the carpet when we were watching the tv. Continental breakfast was good except that we have noticed plates and cutleries were not cleaned properly.

Room next to reception, whilst generally clean and comfortable, cobwebs in bathroom and the lack of windows due to being blocked from the outside meant it was a bit stuffy as could not get fresh air or see out.

Central but rundown
Reception staff were friendly but the condition of the room and the area around the room was poor. The only way to get to the room was to pass broken furniture, rubbish bins and dirty laundry. The kitchen equipment supplied was good for a motel room (toaster, microwave, cutlery etc) and the bathroom was clean and functional. However the threadbare carpets, holes in the curtains, broken desk and missing security lock on the door (for the supplied security chain) were a letdown. Its in a great position, about 800m from a major shopping centre and lots of restaurants but based on my room it does not deserve the rating it currently has. Maybe other rooms have been upgraded or are better but this review is based on the room i was in and the area around it. I wouldnt stay there again.
