Cheap Hotels in Geelong

"(1) The front desk lady was incredibly condescending. She was clearly of Asian descent, but she looked at us with utter contempt the moment we walked in. Her attitude was completely impatient and rude, and she spoke to us in a superior tone, lacking any professional hotel etiquette. It was really uncomfortable to be discriminated against by another Asian person in Australia – seriously, what's up with that? 😅 Later, when we were leaving, we saw her being incredibly friendly to a Caucasian man, smiling and greeting him as soon as he entered, asking about his needs. What's that supposed to mean? 😅 I was happy until I saw her at the front desk, and then I just wanted to switch hotels. (2) The hotel also completely failed to inform us about the check-out time. It's completely different from the standard 12:00 PM check-out in China. We started getting knocks on our door at 8:00 AM, but no one spoke, so we thought it was a mistake. No one told us it was because we needed to check out. We weren't informed at all beforehand, which resulted in us being ordered to leave immediately. It was humiliating and offensive; we were almost kicked out and were charged an extra $50! ❗️ (3) The other hotel staff were very nice, and the Thai food at the hotel was also delicious 😋. The guests from other countries we met were also very friendly and polite. The breakfast selection wasn't huge, but the fried rice was exceptionally good."

"A lovely, nice clean motel style accomodation. Very comfortable mattress. Great large tv. Clean bathrooms. Very nice manager. Great breakfast facilities and Grill restaurant. Very central location. I’d quite happily stay here again."

"Absolutely loved this hotel! The room was incredibly spacious, with a long sofa and two wooden cabinets, which were perfect for unpacking our luggage. There was also a table and chairs, great for eating or just chatting. The bathroom was very comfortable, making the whole stay super relaxing. The only downsides were that this Holiday Inn doesn't offer free breakfast and parking costs money. Luckily, we found free all-day angle parking around a school located diagonally behind the hotel, to the right of the entrance. Otherwise, we would have had to find a paid green-marked street parking spot after hours, but then we'd have to move the car in the morning, which would have been super inconvenient!"

"We had a wonderful experience staying at this motel! The property has been newly renovated, and it truly shows. Everything was spotlessly clean, featuring beautiful new tiles and fresh, comfortable new carpet in the rooms. The highlight of our stay, however, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They kindly allowed us to store our luggage after check-out so we could attend a graduation ceremony without dragging our bags along. Thank you so much for your hospitality—we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!"
