Quite close to a busy fire station. Several emergency departures under full siren through the night woke us up

Room was spotless and very comfortable bed. The downstairs dining is absolutely elite which is great when you're travelling for work and you don't need to leave the hotel to find dinner. Highly recommend.

Eden Oak Geelong
The building is quiky but a bit unkept on the outside. The rooms have been remodelled very nicely. However the supplied kettles are a bit tall for the new hand basin.
