We have stayed at a number of properties in NSW, SA and Victoria during our current trip and this rates as the best motel we have stayed in. As a result of this motel we are planning our next trip to Geelong only. The guy at reception was extremely helpful and when we asked if we could change our room to a ground floor room, he obliged but also gave us a room upgrade and at no extra cost. Highly recommend this motel.

Clean and comfortable

Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom needs a little maintenance. The television had been installed on an angle and the owner was unaware so we informed about it . Breakfast was included in our room price but the person that served us was quite unsure and inaccurate with the order. We stayed here many times and have noticed differences in maintenance and staff service
