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!

The hotel is in a good location 15 min walk to the foreshore. The beds are comfortable if you like a soft bed. This is a hotel for a basic 1 or 2 night stay. There is no smart TV. The bathroom is small particularly if more than 1 person staying in the room. The parking is disappointing. It is outdoor parking not secure and should be Free! It is expensive for outside car park and if you dont leave by 12pm you will be slugged with a $5 fee Plus $ 5 for every hour or part of beyond 12pm. The reception staff told me we could stay until 1pm before the fees kick in maybe the staff need to check up on the policy before giving info to guests. If you need a convenient hotel for a couple of nights it will do the job

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.
