Hotels near Avalon airport

Pros: Service

Cons: Second time staying should a great place to visit

Pros: Spotless walls and carpet, cosy, well functioning heating and cooling. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Love the private parking, and the motel is close to city centre shops, bay and restaurants. We plan to stay here each time we visit Geelong, as this is excellent value.

Pros: Great bed. Close to town and to football ground. Foxtel available.

Cons: Noisy road. Staff member did warn me but only at check in.

Pros: Close to Amenities of and the town. Friendly admin

Cons: There were crickets in the bedroom. Shared this with staff and played the sound recording I made. There was a gap between the architrave and carpet where the crickets were hiding out

Pros: Location

Pros: The disco shower head was a cool novelty and my favourite thing about the place along with the reasonable price. I wouldnt pay anymore for what it was. Very basic and a little out of date.

Cons: Just a little old fashioned and needing a refurb

Pros: Photos on the internet

Cons: Reality

Pros: Beds were comfortable. Plenty of room Close to dining options

Cons: The woman in charge was rude and accusatory. Her attitude was negative before we even arrived. When we tried to get to reception there were road works so we pulled up in side street. I asked if I could walk to reception but she wanted me to drive over which meant we had to negotiate road works and then were escorted back to where we were originally parked which was quite unnecessary. I received no paperwork no ID or credit card required at time of check in no wifi password so I assumed there must be a compendium in room with details. I checked later for it but there wasn’t one. The website said a $300 bond would be taken. Check out not on website . Stayed 2 nights. On departure I had made sure dishes were washed and put away towels were in shower recess or washing machine. Rubbish and recycle separated so left tidy. One of the girls spilled OJ in 1st bedroom which I was unaware of. Went to reception to check out, no receipt just a comment was everything thing ok I replied yes (didn’t mention cockroach as I’ve lived in Darwin and Gold Coast so they are common place) Checked phone when out for breakfast frantic message and vomit in second bedroom I asked my daughters no had vomited in second bedroom. She also made reference to alcohol bottles which had not been full when taken in to room because brought from home. I rang back she said she’d charge $150 then $300 then $450 and demanded credit card details something she should of done at check in. I will be going to office of fair trade to make complaint. May be she was having a bad day! Apart from this and the poorly kept garden the apartment was great.

Pros: Had a great time. Great staff and service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great view of Ferris wheel and bay with lovely modern rooms and nice pool

Cons: Hardly a gym, no weights just cardio. Breakfast was a 50 minute wait, you need to book for pool and gum due to Covid which is understandable however no communication regarding this anywhere in the hotel or by reception at check in

Pros: Comfortable beds. Clean. Quiet. Great location.

Cons: The key cards to our room didn't work several times. Key cards didn't work in lifts. Bit annoying having to keep going down stairs to reception for them.to activate them

Pros: Location excellent

Cons: Staff a bit grumpy

Pros: Fantastic location right on the edge of the water, right in the middle of a great strip with food, cafes and other entertainment and within walking distance of the main city drag.

Cons: Nothing, the stay was excellent!

Pros: Reception staff was excellent and very helpful. Scheduled a cab in the morning and came down 15 minutes early. Staff asked if I would like them to call for the cab so I didn't have to wait. Very courteous. Went the extra mile.

Cons: Only down side was that room needed a paint job as there were a lot of scuffs on the walls and door, which detracted from how nice the hotel was overall.

Cons: The second bedroom did not have an aircon or fan. So anyone (even a couple) would have to keep the door open to allow the lounge aircon to keep the bedroom cool. And this is a2 bedroom apartment.

Pros: What breakfast?????

Cons: Found the bed very hard but otherwise very good

Pros: Location a bit too out of the centre and there are no food facilities in the hotel nor anything interesting nearby - otherwise it was fine

Cons: It was a little pricey given the lack of facilities but this was a high season so not complaining too much!

Undercover private parking Fully well equiped self contained unit Air conditioning in bedroom and main apartment area Smart TV Good size fridge and freezer Very clean room on arrival

Cons: Apartment was not serviced for the entire 4 night stay even after we had mentioned it to reception after the first night. However, we were contacted by the manager after our stay and compensated by only paying for 3 nights. Our balcony faced the immediate rear of old and unsightly corrogated building which was part of car rental outlet. Toilet seat was very loose Not enough kitchen cleaning products Foxtel was available but not set up to use Shower accessed by stepping over a full size bath with no non-slip mat. Shower screen was awkward to manouver around.

Pros: Location very close to all esplanade

Cons: Stayed in room 201, shower head looked great but the water pressure was too low, water cold at times . The couches could have been more comfortable . The windows need to be more sound proof .

Pros: Easy check in. Free underground parking. Security gates

Cons: Noise from trains. Bath plug didnt fit

Pros: Location was good. Close to eating places

Cons: Nil

Pros: The staff are excellent and really obliging the made a difficult time easier with there cheery manner. Convenient to Geelong Waterfront/Restaurants/Hospital/Railway Station all in walking distance being on the fringe but reality for us we did need our car as we are older and carrying groceries and hot weather walk is a bit too far. Right next door to Hertz Depot if you wanted to hire and drop off!!!

Cons: We had to take the Studio Apartment which was the last room left pre-Christmas. Very small but adequate as we were desperate for accommodation to visit our sick mother in ICU. Would stay again but only if we had a bigger room.

Pros: Pool and hot tub were great! Nice venue and super quiet - barely saw other guests. Staff friendly amd helpful.

Cons: I was disappointed that the advertised buffet breakfast didn’t include hot items. This wasn’t specified anywhere when booking and it was one of the main reasons we booked. Not happy that we were required to pay for bacon and eggs etc. Very small room, would expect more for price. Dining room floor wasn’t clean and looked as though it hadn’t been swept in days.

Pros: The bed was comfortable

Cons: The room smelt musky, the towels in the bathroom were dusty, it wasn’t a good feeling in there

The boiling water of cattle for morning tea was RUSTY DIRTY BLACK spots in the boiling water!!!. We have to ask to change the cattle!!!! The toilet does not have a brushing to clean !!!!

Cons: The hotel staff did not clean the room or add up shower and bath amenities. We have to ask for room service to clean the room. The boiling water of cattle for morning tea was RUSTY DIRTY BLACK spots in the boiling water!!!. We have to ask to change the cattle!!!! The toilet does not have a brushing to clean !!!!

Pros: The room was clean and good the room service and food was great.

Cons: The aircon did not work it was a 33degree day and we had the worst night , I called reception to ask if it could be fixed and they were going to send someone but didn't end up happening. I ASKED if there was a tub and was told yes and there was not tub or spa , very disappointed!

Cons: The history of this 1859 building was excellent Couldn’t hear anything outside and is our go to place when staying in Geelong

Pros: The location.

Cons: Was sooo loud! Could hear everything from next rooms. Could smell cigarettes from rooms up hall way all night, bed very hard, no windows to open, bathroom cupboard smelt like someone passed in there. Utensils where not nice. Just a very loud place at night with drunks, drugos and noise. Wouldn't stay again as handy as the location was would rather spend extra $50 for something 10x better

Cons: The receipt staff worked very careless and made many mistakes. She gave my ID to another customer. Her attitude is very negative.

Pros: The local was perfect for me

Cons: Would be good if paperwork ie invoice was given on arrival as key is drop off at unmanned office. In this case the trip was not business but future ones maybe. Maybe having invoice emailed to individuals address would be good

Pros: Walking distance From town

Cons: Paid for a twin and got a single. When booking got told no singles available. There was rubbish under the bed, and the bed was a rock. Very dated. Everything worn and run down. Which is fine if your only paying $90 a night. But at $230 I won’t be staying again.

Pros: Location was good - within walking distance to the Centre of town. The aircon was much appreciated and the wifi was good.

Cons: The pillows were like bricks, the room smelled bad, especially the bathroom, the long life milk was truly disgusting - conscious it was a budget room but we didn’t pay a budget price considering the quality.

Pros: Location

Cons: The door wouldn’t close properly! Had to slam it pretty hard!

Cons: Its not renovated, everything is old fashioned

Pros: Clean sheets and good mattress. Clean towels.

Cons: Dirty carpet. Extremely old bathroom, very small, 100 year old tiles in the shower. Room smelt smoky even though there was 'No smoking' sign. Unlucky with female guests in adjoining rooms having party, talking loudly till 3am. If manager was on site, nothing was done. Guest information booklet contained photos of previous, previous owners and information quoting June 2015. All for $200/night!!

Pros: The bed was comfortable and the room, although very old and run down, was clean.

Cons: The staff member I dealt with was abrupt and rude and poorly groomed. The property is untidy and very rundown. The entrance to most rooms is around the back through the carpark, which was dingy and poorly lit at night. Certainly not worth the price I paid.

Pros: The kitchenette had all the appropriate things. Great water pressure. The showerhead lighted up, which my son enjoyed.

Cons: The wifi connection was horrible, kept cutting in and out. Besides that for the price it was a nice mum and son weekend getaway.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Room was unhygienic and filthy! Dead flies around window seals and floor. Also found rice in the bedding (we were so disgusted). Appliances were sticky ! It was like the room had not been cleaned for a long time. Had to turn the shower on just to get hot water to run in the kitchen area (extremely weird). We wanted to turn back home after entering this place. Was a horror story of a room

Pros: Too late 4 me

Cons: Cause of recent lockdown lonely stayed 1 night no refund not happy

Pros: The continental style breakfast was excellent with a good range of cereals, bread, condiments tea/coffee, milk et.al. The manager was a very pleasant person.

Cons: N/a.
