The beds were so comfortable my husband and I loved them. Hotel was quiet and very clean , I didn't hear other guests. Nice pool although we didn't use due to not quiet being warm enough for us. Buffet breakfast very enjoyable. Parking available. Shops are closed by and a IGA just around the corner. Easy to walk around and look at the local shops and eateries. Staff are friendly.

The front desk lady was a fantastic operator. Very professional and helpful through check-in and checkout. The room was excellent with large screen TV, large desk, sofa and very comfortable bed. The room was clean, neat and supplied tea and coffees did the job. Also a Mini Bar was provided but I didn't use. I would stay there again, the hotel was within a 20 Minute walk from the Geelong Railway station.

Couldn't fault the staff, cleanliness or amenities. For the price, it's a great value option. The parking charge is too steep but it's possible to free-park on the street only a few hundred metres away.
