Older style motel. Good: Good value and location. Not-so-good: Stayed three nights – Fri/Sat/Sun – but never received any housekeeping (despite amenities saying 'daily'). Some in-room crockery was unclean (needed a wash before use). A leftover jumper in drawer and charging cable plugged into wall from previous guest(s). Gives the impression that there is minimal attention to cleanliness.

Worth for the price but quite old and has not renovated or upgraded for a while in my opinion. The place was convenient as it was 2 mins walk to the Geelong water front and 7mins walk to shopping mall and restaurants. Overall the experience was okey. If you plan a budget trip this is okey but, not for luxury.

For an overnight stay, it met expectations for a motel room in terms of cleanliness and cost. Towels were poor quality. Everything worked 0K and location was good for inner city. Basic no frills.

Great Location. Comfy bed Air Conditioner kept changing to cool causing the room to become freezing in the middle of the night. Showerhead was broken so it was more like showering under your garden tap. Room was clean but the whole place is old, worn out and poorly maintained.

No information given on arrival. Had to ask where the room was, clumps of dirt in foot prints as you walk in. Frozen milk in fridge that was off. No information in hotel room for wifi or anything. Kept awake all night by person in room 12 banging and yelling all night. No one onsite in the morning to talk to. Didn’t even know where to return the keys had to look for that myself. Would highly not recommend.
