This was a great find - an amazing location for a quiet night and generous breakfast included. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the inclusion of a pod machine in the room and an espresso machine in the common area was much appreciated. Staff were lovely and friendly and if we were back in Geelong we would definitely stay here again.
