The location was perfect. the bed was comfortable, but the amenities were way from the past and out dated the fridge had no knob to change the settings on temperature control. The bathroom shower was hard to control the temperature the toilet kept blocking up. The remote control for the air-conditioning was hard to work out with no instructions. Apart from the location and the comfy bed i wouldn’t recommend it or stay there again.

The motel is just up the road from the waterfront and big wheel, and close to restaurants, cafes and shops. It took about 20 minutes to walk from the railway station. The room was light and spacious, the curtains kept the early morning light out and the windows could be opened for fresh air. The staff were helpful and friendly and let me leave my suitcase when I arrived before check in and again next day after check out. The bed was comfortable and the cleaners had done a great job. It was not as expensive as many Geelong accommodation places and I'd definitely stay again.

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!

Great hotel. Our room was upstairs. Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Excellent friendly staff. The location is perfect for a stroll down to the bay to walk along or into town to the many restaurants or shopping.

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.

Good service and beautiful environment

The hotel is right next to the highway and the transportation is more convenient. Parking is available in the courtyard. Eating and shopping takes fifteen minutes on foot. Quiet at night.

We arrived in Geelong relatively late and the front desk was already closed. However, we were contacted quickly after calling, and we were given a room and room card. The room was large and soundproofed very well. Even if it was very close to the highway, you could barely hear any noise.
