    Good choice of food items served for great cooked breakfast. The location was favourable and handy, a 10-15 minute walking distance from a historical museum. And we were not far from the restaurant and also the cleaning staff and the city center and central Geelong and the Waterfront.

    Sadly, but there was stain in some areas.

    It is hard to be positive it was very average accommodation at top pricing

    Unfriendly reception staff. After taking my money for 8 weeks they required a $200 deposit on a Debit Card and then it would take 5 days to get money back if not used. Breakfast very average. Overall the experience was comparable to a 3 star Motel.

    The staff were very pleasant and eager to please.

    I thought the room was not dusted very thoroughly, eg passing around things like the power cords on the table tops. I had to get down behind the desk to reach the power source and it was loaded with dust down there

    We found it easy to locate in Geelong and were happy with the overall stay at the hotel

    Did not think it was worth $15 to park our car on site
