Nice hotel located close to everything Geelong CBD has to offer. Short walk or drive to the water. Rooms were nice and big. Only downside was the queen size bed. Plenty of room for King size bed. Bathrooms clean and tidy. Second time we’ve stayed there. Well priced.

Great location and close to the main street and action. Hotel was quiet and room spacious. Would have been nicer if the food and beverage offering was available more while we were there. No dinner on Sunday or lunch during the days for some of our stay. Food and drinks when we did order were great. We had small children visiting us and they loved the pool. Staff very accommodating and hotel good value for money. Will stay again if we are back in Geelong.
