Looking for a motel?

The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The location was so convenient to the City, and excellent value. On site free parking, and a well appointed apartment, with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The king size bed was so comfortable, and we will be glad to return and recommend it to our family and friends.

    Budget motel. I was delighted to find something i thought didn't exist - A nicely furnished room that was neutral but had character by the clever use of patterns and textures with the furnishings and artwork that didn't look like mass produced rubbish from a bargain shop. Facilities provided were good, clean and nicely arranged. I will return here when I'm next in Geelong. Given the price point and it being an old style motel I was pleasantly suprised and delighted with the room. I was here for the Ironman event

    I had been in Tasmania and traveled on the day service from Devonport. I did not want to drive home to far NE Victoria (~350km) in the dark so i booked a motel. Turned out to be a good choice as the ferry was late docking. I'd emailed the hotel warning I might be late and they arranged an after hours key pickup. When I arrived just before reception closed they went and got my keycard out of the late pickup box for me. a little thing but nice

    Extremely clean, modern room. Bed was super comfortable, staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the motel was located on a busy street the rooms were well insulated and cars and outside noises couldn’t be heard from inside. Heating and cooling system worked extremely well! Free parking was provided and was easily accessible.
