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.

This is a fantastic hotel at Deakin University. Outstanding service, recently renovated and very well maintained. Not suitable for kids; which makes it ideal for business travel and couples

10/10 Exceptional

We had an absolutely exceptional stay at this hotel and can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm, attentive service and seamless check-in process. The amenities truly set this hotel apart. The room was modern and immaculately clean, with a bed so comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The facilities were equally impressive and the pool area was a perfect place to unwind after a long day. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be returning on my next trip. You do need a car to get around as it is a bit out of the way although the Waurn Ponds shopping centre is not far away
