Bay City Geelong Motel, Geelong

Close to the waterfront, restaurants...

Liked: The renovated rooms are extremely clean, spacious and the couch and bed were comfortable. We would say to anyone looking for a place to stay in Geelong, try this place out, this property is close to the waterfront, the owner is lovely, and she will do her best to make your stay great. If it is not in your room e.g. plates or cutlery and you need something, ask and if she has it, she will provide it!
Disliked: The outside appearance and storage of old furniture, if we hadn't of booked on booking.com and seen the interior, if we were driving past looking for a room, we probably would have kept driving due to the exterior appearance of the place. We strongly recommend a makeover of the external to attract more drive by customers to come and stay! We are not trying to make our review negative just providing some constructive feedback. On the whole we were very impressed with our stay :)

Good.

Liked: The room appears to be have been recently updated. It was also clean, tidy and quiet. House keeping staff kept it clean and tidy throughout the stay. Parking was easy and readily available. The location was within walking distance (about 10 minutes walk) to Eastern Beach, Geelong Botanic Garden and the city centre.
Disliked: The motel took a $200 security deposit which was returned after the stay and also required credit card details as security for damage (if any) due to their previous experience with guests causing damage. Understandable but nevertheless caught off guard with the requests. There were no plates and cutlery (butter knife/spreader, spoons & forks) provided apart from tea cups, tea spoons, saucers and drink glasses.
