I booked two Superior Twin Rooms for our stay in Geelong. Both rooms were spacious and clean with pop up toaster, mini fridge, microwave and complementary tea/coffee. Even though we arrived late, key collection was easy. Parking was available even when we the last to arrive that evening.

Dodgy bathroom.

The room was quite clean except for the towels. One of them had a sticky substance on it, hopefully it was chewing gum. Also the tap in the bathroom was damaged and when I tried to report it to reception they weren't interested.
