Great location our room had a view of the bay. Renovation was going on, however it was un intrusive. The one bedroom apartment was great for the price. Looking forward to returning to the new hotel.

Convenient Esplenade facing location, about 1.5 km up the road from the main high street. Rather quiet despite facing the main road which wasn't so busy with cars. Got upgraded to a suite room, love the size. Simple breakfast.

Location and service was very good. Only issue was we paid for a continental breakfast for 2 of us and only got toast and breakfast cereal, considering we paid $25 each for just some toast and cereal.

We spent a lovely night and extended our next day until 6pm. We had a king suite which was perfect with 2 young children who were able to sleep on the couches (this is a great feature offered by this chain and we have stayed with them in many locations as (up to 2) kids under 12 can stay free). We had a lovely view of the water and Geelong. There is construction work however our Saturday night stay was not affected. Staff were lovely from the gentleman when we checked in to the lady who assisted us in extending our stay for the day. Our bed was comfortable and the rooms cosy. The kitchenette was perfect, there was no dish soap would be my only feedback but nothing major (and I'm sure if needed / our stay was longer would have been supplied). We will be back and look forward to the new facilities (indoor pool was mentioned!) when the construction is finished.

We only booked for one night. Wish we now had of booked for two nights. We had a two bedroom apartment. Which was Spacious, comfortable and had everything you needed and more. Great balcony views from our room over the bay. From initial booking to ongoing updates, and then staff on welcome were all excellent. Will definitely book the hotel again next time. Yes there were Reno’s happening when we were there but they did not impact us at all
