The carpet was very dusty! The bed was too soft. The air con could not be changed much. The room stunk. The mirrors were dirty. Had to be clean before being able to put my make up on. The toilet was too close to the shower glass. Bathroom way too small. Not enough car park and the list goes on

The room was so hot, the air conditioner is automatically set to 19 but won’t turn on unless the outside temperature gets to a certain point as the receptionist pointed out. So we were essentially only allowed to have the heating on. Shouldn’t we be able to have air conditioning on when we need??? Was able to open the window but no fly screen so bugs were able to fly in. The bathroom was filthy, clean the exhaust fan, it was absolutely putrid, bath was also filthy. Will not be staying here again.

Reviews on this place weren’t great but I was pleasantly surprised. Rooms are looking a bit tired but are spacious and bathroom was modern. Bed was fantastic! Service was very good, nice little bar and restaurant downstairs and good location. I would happily 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.

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.
