I stay at 8 Spence every time I travel to Warrnambool, have done for many years and through two different jobs where I travel there often. The rooms are always spotless, the bathrooms are always super clean, the team are always so helpful. But the best thing is the BED!! Super comfortable so I get the best night's sleep. Cannot recommend 8 Spence highly enough, wish I had 10 stars to give. P.S. Love the new paint job guys, colour is awesome

Excellent Stay

Excellent stay. Warm, clean, bright and very comfortable with a large king size bed and plenty of parking. Only improvement/suggestion - a bathroom heater. Being winter, it was very cold with the fan/light switch on.
