Admiralty Inn
Have stayed here many time, Staff always friendly. Unfortunately this time around bathroom standards have dropped immensely… Mould in shower recess totally unacceptable.

Bayside Geelong Hotel & Apartments, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Excellent room. Poor water pressure and being charged for parking only let downs

Rydges Geelong
If you like paying for a view and trying to sleep with what sounds like a jet engine going all night, great place to stay. Personally, I preferred the 3 star place I stayed at a few months earlier, had everything and more in the room plus free parking right outside your door

Eden Oak Geelong
Only stayed one night. The property was very clean and tidy as was the room with a nicely updated bathroom and a soft comfy bed. Breakfast was included and was amazingly fresh and cooked well. Very quiet area and we will be back.
