Room had good facilities.

Be aware of the close proximity to the late night / early morning entertainment on weekends. Noise cancelling earplugs work wonders.

Lovely Hotel, great value for money
Pros:

The room was lovely and the bed so comfortable. The location central however it is right in the nightclubs district so if you are a light sleeper, you may find sleep difficult. There was a group of us that stayed on a Saturday night and some of them struggled with sleep due to the sound of music until 7am. I however heard nothing and slept through the night. I still believe the hotel is great value for money and would definitely stay there again but only if I can get the same room... I don't think noise would be an issue midweek.

2nd night in same room
Pros:

Best priced motel in Geelong

Cons:

No fresh towels, coffee, sugar or milk for the 2nd night. The body wash in shower was empty as was 1 of the 2 in bathroom so to get bidywash u needed to step out of shower pump a couple onto palm each time, but it is what it is without having a cleanup crew come in as we didn't check out. Also the security bond was not just put on a pending hold it was withdrawn from account and still waiting for it to be returned to my account.
