Where to start with this one? I booked a twin room (1x queen and 1x single) here through Wotif.com. $181. I was flat out making the 9pm cut off for check in. The women on the reception gave me a check in form and on that I stated 3 people would be staying in the room. She said id only booked for 2 people and would have to get ”the girls” to sort that out tomorrow. We left and went on the rest of our trip and stupidly I booked it again for the way home. It was after this I noticed I had been charged $55 extra for the previous night for the extra person. On check in the 2nd time I marked 2 people staying (myself and my 6yo) as my partner had intended heading off that evening but wasn't sure as it was getting late. Thats where things went south pretty quick, the manager, probably the most abhorrent human I have ever encountered, started yelling at me from the ground whilst I was entering the 1st floor room asking how many was staying. I chose to go and have a conversation in the office instead of yelling. She said she saw on the cameras there were 3 people in the car when we got out and we had enough luggage for 3 people. Well yes, we had been on a 4 day trip. 3 of us. I informed her the 2 person thing was a Wotif default search. I simply put the dates and the town in and then choose an appropriate room for my needs. In this case it was the twin room that sleeps 3, as per the advertisement. She charged me another $55 dollars, refused a refund as per the very convenient ”no refund”. She informed me that this always happens (im not surprised). She accused me of stealing by not indicating how many people were staying there. She was abusive and basically just downright obnoxious. You cannot speak to this person, seriously, she just speaks over you at every chance. I honestly booked a room to accommodate our needs. in all my time booking hundreds of Hotels I have never encountered anything like it. Seriously guys, stay away from this place. I feel stupid falling into the same trap twice but i'd already booked it prior to looking at my credit card transaction. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE, THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR BUSINESS!!! I feel sillier after getting home and reading the reviews, seems to be a common theme at this place. I though given the twin share room that sleeps 3 was more expensive than a queen room that i was already paying for a 3rd person. For heaven's sake just go somewhere else, this place is just disgraceful!
I stayed at Anchor while attending a conference at Deakin University. It was clean, well-equipped, and easy to find, as I walked from the Gull terminal on the main road (about 15min walk). The room had a comfy bed and good heating, which was necessary as it was very cold in Geelong! The kitchen has adequate facilities so I was able to prepare food for myself during my stay. I did not notice any traffic noise. The shower could have been a little warmer, but the heated lights were appreciated. There are not a lot of facilities in close proximity; however, the petrol station down the road has a fairly decent selection of (expensive) foods. It is about 15/20min walk to the big shopping centre. Communition was fine and I had no trouble accessing the room on arrival. I found the note in the kitchen about taking our own rubbish out a little odd! I would stay again.
Very nice place to stay and easy access to the beautiful water front. Everything of this place is clean and tidy. Parking spaces are a bit narrow but okay. Will book this place again if we are coming back to Geelong or Great Ocean Road.
訪訪客Beautiful room, nice and clean. plenty of parking and the complimentary breakfast was the best. I expected pretty basic but there was so much food. Staff where all lovely and will definitely stay here again. Would have loved to have used the food but too cold in May
訪訪客Picked the Holiday Inn after seeing it on last visit to Geelong and having a meal in Maestro. New and in excellent condition. Room has a great bay view. Very friendly staff. All facilities available. Walking distance to shopping area. Parking underneath at $35 a day with lift to lobby and rooms. Highly recommended and would stay again.
MMarilyn cThis caravan park is spotless and well laid out. The lady in reception was friendly, the amenities block is clean, and there are plenty of bins scattered around the park. It is very well maintained. This is the second time we've been here and we were not disappointed.
The location was convenient for our Geelong visit and the room was nice clean and simple. Nothing fancy, nothing extra. Staff were kind and helpful. The restaurant was easy to access but the food was a little expensive and there was only limited options but the meals we had were very nice.
CCamper00934103749Rooms comfortable. Signs everywhere, including the greeting at reception, notifying the risk of setting off the smoke alarm. The risk of fines and the inconvenience was strongly communicated. From close to midnight and for the next hour of our stay the fire alarm went off. First response was the owner telling us it was a false alarm. The next three alarms were 15 minutes apart and no response was provided from the owner. Not only was this totally disturbing throughout the night, the false alarms left us questioning if the alarm was faulty. No emergency services attended any of the alarms and truly, the question is, is the alarm linked to a base system. Due to the overkill of communication about setting off the smoke alarm, one would wonder if the gentleman/owner is fully aware the smoke alarm is faulty and possibly illegal. The accommodation charges you extra by the hour if you attempt to check in early and then fire alarms disrupt your overnight stay. The rooms were comfortable enough, the continuous setting off of fire alarms produced a nervous nights stay.
