The staff here are absolutely lovely—welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. I honestly don’t understand how this hotel is legally advertised as a 4-star property while charging premium rates, as it barely meets a 2-star standard. I’ve stayed in budget motels that were far superior. The entire place is in desperate need of an upgrade. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was the pool, but it turned out to be laughably small—completely inadequate for the number of guests. The room’s furniture was outdated, covered in scratches and stains, making the space feel neglected. As for our “bay view” room, it was a complete scam. The view was barely there, and the window was so dirty, scratched, and stained that we could hardly see through it anyway. Overall, this hotel is an overpriced disappointment. We felt ripped off and have no desire to stay here again.

Great hotel. My home away from home when in Geelong. All staff at Reception are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and tidy and the bedding is oh so comfortable. The buffet breakfast has everything you need to start the day. The restaurant staff (special mention to Junie and Chevy) are always so welcoming and friendly. I'll be back again soon and ordering the fillet steak. It is divine.

Really enjoyed a recent stay. Rooms were clean and well presented, although a bit dated. Buffet breakfast covered all the essentials and was tasty - the omelette, although extra, was worth the money, and waffles were a hit with the kids. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location is walking distance to central Geelong which is great for a stroll.

The room have seen better days, it's showing its age. The beds are also on there last legs really need new mattress. Very basic kettle, limited tea option. The toilet had a flushing issue had to fiddle with it to make it stop flushing. A great location close to everything. Can walk to many restaurants etc. Haven't had breakfast yet, hope that's going to improve my disposition but it's wait and taste. The pool was not attractive. Could not find the supposed gym. Did read that the spa was also not working.

Nice room for our family of 4, however the bathroom was a bit outdated. There was a good buffet breakfast and the pool was adequate. 24/7 Reception was good as we had a very early checkout. The size of the room was bigger than usual.
