"Really quiet location as it is right on the golf course.
Great views over the ocean if you fancy a walk.
Rooms have been newly refurbished with natural tones, soft lighting at headboard, comfortable bed with an array of pillows.
Central light panel controls all room lighting - have a play!
Really good desk space for work options, with desk light for ample lighting and power right there whilst working. No stretching of cords or having to share with the kettle.
TV with great reception live TV.
Spacious bathroom with toilet, large shower, large mirror and vanity space, 2 power points and sink. Reasonable water pressure and good temperature but could not tell which was hot or cold. Trial and error
Breakfast included is good and tasty, basic with eggs, bacon, baked beans, hash browns and fried rice, selection of different toast and banana bread, coffee, tea, juices. Could probably do with some fresh fruit as well as an offering.
Nice bush outlook at breakfast and plenty of seating.
I had a corner room so my view was not the best - disappointing!
The pool is beautiful and the spa is warm, even in the middle of August.
I would come back but better view next time as the hotel was not full midweek.
I would highly recommend a stay!"
"Great for a work stay while we have a construction job down there. Facilities were adequate for our needs and will stay again.
Beds were comfortable and guests were happy with accommodation."
"This motel was good value for money. It has been nicely renovated and was very comfortable. The position was close enough for us to walk to the shops and there were plenty of eateries in walking distance. There was a microwave and a new fridge. Highly recommend staying here."
"I had a great stay at the Holiday Inn Geelong. The room was spacious with a cute, modern design that made it feel really comfortable and inviting. The hotel is in a fantastic location—just a short walk to plenty of restaurants, which made dining out super convenient. One thing to note: parking is available on-site, but there is an additional cost, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!"
"It is a hotel with a self-service laundry room, but you need to prepare your own laundry detergent. The room is clean. The front desk will answer all questions, but they don't provide toothbrushes, so remember to bring your own."
"1. The room is very spacious - it covers a spacious area and provides residents with a comfortable living environment.
2. Keep the room clean and tidy - The cleanliness of the room is good, allowing guests to feel at home.
3. There is no traditional front desk counter - this may be a new type of check-in method, which does not require check-in at the front desk, bringing a more independent and convenient experience.
4. Very convenient to use - Although there is no front desk, the overall check-in process and service arrangements should be designed to be very convenient and smooth.
Generally speaking, this room type may be an innovative hotel or B&B that focuses on providing guests with a more independent and comfortable stay environment. If you have the opportunity to experience it for yourself, I believe you will have a unique experience that is different from the traditional one."
"Good stop over place in Geelong before travelling down to great ocean road. Location is near enough to the city center but away from the noise and crowd. Great burger joint right by the motel too. Lift provided to transport luggages upstairs to rooms."

"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."
"Pretty disappointed coz there is a lot of bug. The first photo is the night, before we slp, we found out that there is a lot of bug coming out from the pillow. We phone to front desk and they mention house keeping is already off. We change the pillow which there is a extra pillow in the cupboard. And we layer the bed **** with some disposable towel .
Next morning they gave a full clean. Then the next morning while we wake up. Again saw the bug around the bed and pillow. Never slept back even i feel slpy.
Great facility though with washing machine and great location. "

Very Good
GGuest UserThe owner is very nice and warmly invited us to visit them to feed the horses. The room was clean and tidy and very comfortable.
GGuest UserI made a small phone call for the Chinese boss. At 11 o'clock in the evening, the plane landed. After picking up the car, I arrived at the store for nearly 12 o'clock. The whole block was covered with wood. At the cheek in the door, I pressed the bell and the boss immediately came out. So warm, don't worry about going to the streets. The late night boss introduces us to the surrounding area of Geelong, helping us to eat the place where we eat, the first stop is really warm, the hotel environment is very good, recommend everyone to go oh~ The price is very close to the family! Unfortunately, leaving the next day is too hasty to take pictures!
ZZIQIANNo breakfast, the location is particularly good, the price is not expensive, the new decoration, so the environment can, I do not know why it is so low, the couple is recommended to travel
