Hotel lobby staff were great but that’s kind of where it ends rooms. The rooms need some love and care. Very noisy and birds in the roof so noisy it sounded like they were in the aircon. If needing a good night sleep I do not recommend

We stayed at this property after arriving off the Spirit of Tasmania. Roughly a 10 minute drive from the terminal and fairly central to restaurants and cafes within driving distance. They do have their own restaurant next door but it was closed on the night we were there. Reception closes at 6 p.m. but you can make prior arrangements for a late check in. Access to the key was easy. Our room was a reasonable size, the bed was comfortable, water hot and WiFi good. It was also nice to have a sofa to sit on. Parking is on the premises with no designated spots. If you have mobility issues, make sure you request a ground floor unit. Would recommend.

The motel is already tired, it needs to be refurbished. Great location for dining and recreation as it close to the must visit places in Geelong. Also, we gave 2 stars on cleanliness because our room smelled like stinky feet, must be coming from the couch or the carpet when we were watching the tv. Continental breakfast was good except that we have noticed plates and cutleries were not cleaned properly.
