The parking at the property was an additional cost to the room rate and we were advised in a later email that we must book and pay for space in advance. It should have been advised at the time of original booking. We did book ahead but the car park wasnt even undercover!

Nice hotel, clean and comfortable room. Just a shame we had people ‘Nick knocking’ at our door at different hours of the night which disturbed our sleep.

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.

I booked the room I did for the included buffet breakfast and it was terrible. Most of the food was too cold to eat and when we advised the bar staff of it, they simply said it was not their fault, it was the kitchen, without even offering to go tell the kitchen about it. Not sure if they wanted us to head on into the kitchen ourselves and tell the chef! One waitress was very rude when we did ask how we were meant to heat up the waffles as they weren't allowed in the toaster machine and just felt the need to tell us we'd be charged $2,500 if we put the waffle in the toaster. I have stayed here twice before and never had such terrible service and rudeness of staff. When I told the front desk staff about it she just said oh we have new staff on today, must be their fault I'll talk to them. Did not even offer to give us a refund on the breakfast or anything else. It was terrible. The room was tiny for four adults and the bathroom was ridiculously small. I guess maybe I'm used to a better quality of motel but when I pay in excess of $450 a night for a room with breakfast included I expect to have more room in the bathroom, it definitely felt like it would be lucky to call the room a 3 star hotel room and the breakfast abbout 1 star.
