Wendy
Above and beyond my expectations just booked for a second trip
Taryn
The renovations were impressive and while we stayed in the older part of the hotel the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast needs significant improvement which I expect will coincide with the completion of the renovations. Would stay here again to make use of all the amenities.
Hariklia
Beautiful place amazing location and very very lovely staff. Perfect ❤️
Allan
Disappointed, didnt get the spa room showed in picture.
Jeanne
We stayed in the new section, which was excellent. Lovely room; very clean with a large bathroom with rainfall shower. Excellent amenities including a fabulous restaurant, fitness room, heated lap pool, sauna (allow plenty of time to heat up) and laundry. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Early checkin was available at no extra charge. Location was close to town with coastal walking trail across the street.
Tania
Thank you for our staff it was wonderful. The room was clean ( the fridge had no shelves in it )and love the view over the bay.
Highly recommend the bay view room.
Highly recommend the bay view room.
Eric
Great place, clean room, restaurant foods are delicious I had pizza, one of the best
Jessie
This hotel was perfect for a little getaway with the kids. Room was stunning and amenities provided were great - we especially loved the nice touch of a little gift for the kids on our beds when we arrived. The kids loved the pool. Staff were all super friendly and helpful.
We paid a little extra to include breakfast - it was a continental buffet with toast, cereal, juice, barista coffee included, and a small selection of fruits, pastries, meats and cheese. We had the option to upgrade for $10 to include eggs, or replace the buffet with an a la carte meal, but the kids enjoyed the buffet and it was enough to get us going for the day.
Plenty of parking on the street next door if needed overnight, though there is a 2 hour limit during the day. Otherwise parking is very pricey at the hotel.
Overall it was a great stay and we will definitely return!

The room was a good size and looking out to the bay was amazing on the balcony
Wayne
Modern hotel. Easy check in, friendly staff. Didn't use restaurant as it was pretty expensive. Secure parking at a cost but plenty of street parking for free. Housekeeping could've been better with the finer details but the basics were done.
Kirsty
Lovely hotel, would stay here again. Room just overlooked other rooms in an internal courtyard but I was only there for an evening so it didn’t affect the stay at all.
Louise
The room we stayed in had just been renovated and was in top condition. The pool was outstanding. I couldn’t fault the cleanliness in any of the common areas. I found the room temperature to be ok but thought maybe a fan would have helped at night. There is limited free parking so be sure to add secure parking to your reservation, note cars over 2m in height probably won’t fit. Excellent location, with a nice Mexican restaurant just a short drive.
Alice
Lovely stay. Children enjoyed the indoor pool. The happy hour in lobby was also a must.
Mark
The hotel was in immaculate condition. The entry, service desk and rooms were well presented.
Kristinka
Beautiful accomodation with a stunning views. Secure under ground car park. Restaurant, pool, sauna, gym, room service and a spa!! We love coming here. Can’t wait to come back
Jade
Really lovely modern hotel, clean and tidy and well looked after, comfy bed and good size room and bathroom
Ross

“Our stay at the hotel on May 26th was truly wonderful. The atmosphere was peaceful and elegant, and our room was comfortable and beautifully arranged. Although we only stayed one night, it was a perfect getaway, and we woke up feeling refreshed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick, relaxing escape.”
Hariklia
Perfect location and staff amazing

Robert
Had a lovely stay, can recommend to anyone.
Tim
Great place to stay after arriving on the Spirit from Tasmania. hotel beautifully appointed, staff were very helpful and friendly and the location was really convenient.
Firas
Room very clean and spacious. Food at Franca’s was beautiful
Sam
We had a great overnight stay. It was clean, tidy, and very comfortable throughout.
The highlight for our family was definitely the heated indoor pool. Having pool towels provided made it super easy and convenient. We also really appreciated the water filters/fountains, which were a nice touch (and helps the environment)
The location was great, and we found parking around the hotel to be easy and hassle-free.
Overall, a very family-friendly option and we’d happily stay again.

Lovely room, extremely comfortable bed, huge tv and nice bathroom.
Important to note it is not designed for self-catering as all you get is tea making facilities, no microwave, plates or dishes etc.
But there is a lovely restaurant downstairs, and room service.
Underground parking is available but costs extra, so be sure to ask if required. EV charging also available in the carpark.
Staff were all cheerful and friendly.

Rebecca
A great hotel! We stopped for the night and we were so impressed with the hotel, I wanted to stay longer but unfortunately we had a flight to catch. The rooms have recently been renovated and were just perfect, the location was an easy access to the domestic terminal. I have already recommended it it to our local friends. The harbor and surrounding area were pretty and many restaurants to choose. Check in/out were very easy. I will definitely stay again if I’m ever fortunate enough to come back
Edgell
Very upmarket rooms and once Reno is completed on complex it will be fantastic
Gaya
The bars, restaurants and pubs are only 20 min walk from hotel. The main Geelong mall is only a few minutes drive. We booked the ocean view room and got the breakfast deal. We even got the chance to watch the sunrise this morning which was awesome. The pool was decent size, with 1.3m depth. The sauna was clean and well maintained. They provide robes and pool towels which was great. They also have a decent gym with new equipment. The staff are super friendly. I had some trouble working out the casting my Netflix app to the TV but worked it out in the end. I would definitely go back here.
Kellie
Very happy with our stay , we were there for my husbands birthday and we were so appreciative of the bottle of sparkling that was left in our room with a lovely card . The room was amazing the only thing is we would love of like to have a view instead of having barriers on the window and unable to enjoy Geelong . Amenities also amazing but the pool was too cold for an indoor pool . Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the restaurant and staff were also amazing. Our stay was relaxing and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again and recommend to every body for a wonderful experience.
