Only one thing wrong, they tried to charge us for breakfast and asking us are we sure we didn't multiply times. Trying to explain that we didn't have breakfast was very very frustrating. This also happened at the Canberra Rydges. Rydges need a better system 😪 So check you bill before paying.

A very convenient place to stay in Geelong. Lovely in-house dining and nice pool area. Staff were friendly and the place was well maintained. The parking is an extra charge so plan for this when booking. However there is plenty of on-street parking on weekends.

Good stay, again

Stayed here before for work so had no issue booking again. We enjoyed the bar area for a social drink with friends and the buffet breakfast in the morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, our stay was pretty bloody good. However, we had one issue, I booked parking and arrived to be told that there was no parking available as they were full. Our room overlooked the car park, and this was not the case. On checking out they attempted to charge me for parking as it was included on my booking, needless to say I was bemused. But I learnt that on the weekends there is a lot of free parking on the street so save yourself a round of drinks and park on the street. The Rydges did not disappoint, and would we stay again, that is a yes.
