Nearly every year we have an early train or flight so when living in Geelong it is better stay overnight. The Alto is perfect for us just up from Southern Cross station and good selection of eateries. Room is comfortable and has all amenities. We greeted by Ayush who remembered us. He is friendly and very helpful.
