"A very ordinary motel with outdated equipment and a feeling of a domestic guesthouse in the 1990s... It is also relatively close to the highway, so there is a certain amount of noise... The bed is big, but too soft. My back hurts when I sleep, and the door lock is a bit broken. If I hadn’t happened to pass by, I probably wouldn’t have chosen it again."
"Nice and peaceful location. Room was cool even though it was a very hot day so it wasn’t necessary to use aircon. Awesome mattress to sleep on - not too hard or too soft, perfect! Plenty of power points to charge devices, located at bedside as well as by dining table. Hassle-free check-in and check-out. Pokie gaming in the evening was fun. We would definitely stay here again.

"Motel, just off the highway. There is an independent yard where the car can be parked in front of the room. The room is not big, the furnishings are simple and a bit old, the two single beds are narrow, and the bathroom is relatively clean. It is not a bad idea to spend a night after a long drive. The man who checked in was kind and friendly."
"very good place
The garden is very beautiful. There seemed to be mulberries or something. I even ate one.
The room has two doors. One side leads directly to the garden at the back. The lights are bright at night. It's a nice place."
"Special mention goes to a female staff member (vivi) who prepared breakfast and coffee for the 7 of us after 9 o'clock even though we had not booked breakfast, which was very considerate.
Another male blond staff member, after learning that we needed to book a taxi to Apollo Bay, made multiple calls to book a taxi for us.
Picked us up at the hotel and was very helpful.
I recommend everyone to choose this motel when visiting Geelong."
"We arrived in Geelong relatively late and the front desk was already closed. However, we were contacted quickly after calling, and we were given a room and room card. The room was large and soundproofed very well. Even if it was very close to the highway, you could barely hear any noise."
"Very nice hotel. Excellent location on the waterfront close to the waterfront activities. We had a balcony which gave a view of the sea. Room was comfortable and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Big shopping centre close by. On site Tempo restaurant was very nice - great atmosphere and good food. Just beware of the portion sizes - really big!"
