Rydges Geelong
The room was clean and spacious. The only gripe was the air conditioning. It wouldn't go lower than 19 degrees and the room felt so stuffy and humid. Wehad a very restless night and our babies couldnt settle.

Room was very clean. But the premises was tired, no soap in the shower. Car park is limited but sufficient. Had early start so did not eat there.
