Pros:

We got room 5 and as soon as we walked in it smelt soooo bad of damp. We knew we were getting a cheap room but damp is always a concern. Staff acknowledged and apologised but that’s where their concern ended. I’d rate this one if the poorer stays across regional Victoria in recent times. Wouldn’t stay here again and was very surprised re reading the reviews and rating for this hotel. It was really poor and didn’t meet our expectations at all. No smoke detector, door wasn’t secure, bathroom is an open area into your room without a roof. Traffic noise is also a concern. Do yourself a favour and stay in Geelong.

Pros:

Practical sized room for an overnight stay. Bathroom shower water wet a larger area than I’d like, hot water was excellent. We dined at the same venue, simple well proportioned meals at very good value and taste.
We would stay again for sure.

Pros:

Is a lovely place to stay. Ordered dinner from the pub, went across to pick it up and wasn’t ready, was then delivered to our room, really wasn’t expecting that. The food was amazing and generous portions. Lovely service and clean room. Not all the lights were working properly in the room but still enough light to do things. Bathroom and shower layout not really good, water from shower went everywhere and had to use a towel to dam the overflow. But all in all a very nice place to stay, thank you for having us :)

Pros:

Didn’t know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. Was on Sunday night and there were food trucks and music. Room was nice and clean and cheap. Bar staff were a little overwhelmed with the amount of people and would have been nice to light the wood fire

Carpet must have been last cleaned in the last century, most light globes missing or broken, shower when switched to handheld sprayed water out of broken pipe and not head
