Briefly - management was rude, room was very dusty, table was wobbly with loose legs, shower had pubes in it. Was coughing with the dust in the room. Found the air conditioning filter was filthy. We cleaned it! Made all the difference. AND if you need to sleep while staying there.;you wont. The bed felt like we were trying sleep on concrete with timber laying on top. Unbelievably hard. Would have left after first night but had paid for 2 with an option for 3. Obviously didn’t take up the option to stay an extra night. Stayed at the Novotel instead. Not much more to pay, sleep in a very comfortable king be and the unit is designed well and clean.

I transferred $200 as security straight to the lady in receptions account as was having technical problems doing it by card. Was told it would be transferred straight back into my account on departure. I saw her when leaving and she said she'd transfer it that morning. Haven't heard or received anything a day later. Payment can't be pending as I transferred to her already and we both use the same bank.

Stayed there last night. I couldn't knock the staff, building (it's old but that can't be helped and it's clean and well maintained) and the inside was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was modern and nice. They also had TV and foxtel and a very quiet reverse cycle heater / AC which worked great and didn't disturb my sleep. My only criticism (and it's major for me) is that the mattress was VERY HARD. I'm exclusively a side sleeper and I was very tired after a big day. I slept solidly until 2.30 and then my hips were killing me and I tossed and turned for the rest of the night. Couldn't wait for the sun to come up. It ruined my stay and affected me the next day as I didn't get enough sleep.

This property is located very near by the main Geelong Hospital precinct making it convenient if you are needing to stay for medical treatment/visiting. The property is well presented with free onsite car parking out the front of your room. I would suggest requesting a downstairs room if you have any mobility issues. My room slept three people and was modern and very clean with a small dining table for 2. A microwave, kettle and toaster was provided in the room. There appeared to be no meals provided onsite. There are a number of cafes and pubs close by however. There is good free Wifi. Reception hours are strictly 9am- 9pm so ensure that you check in during these times. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. I stayed over a very busy weekend in Geelong so the room price was more expensive than usual I’m guessing. Noise from other guests was minimal.
