First thing to say is that the proprietors were excellent. Their service and friendliness made you feel at home with a speedy check-in and checkout. Rooms were spotless, a really comfortable bed and a choice of differant pillows to suit individuals. The room also had a couch for resting, which doesn't always occur in other locations. The bathroom could do with an update, however in saying this it was clean and functional. They are located midway between the CBD and Packington St. There is a bus stop outside if you need it. Next door is the Great Western Hotel with Woolworth on the opposite corner. A small group if takeaway shops as well as an Italian restaurant there. So if you are planning a trip to Geelong book a room stay a few nights. Its great value for money.
