Colonial Lodge Motel Geelong

Great hospitality from a very friendly and helpful manager/owner.

Very bad service and un tide room no toilet papers. No soap or shampoo in bathroom. All blanket are stinky !

If you are attending an event at Kardinia Park you might consider this place, being within walking distance, but you will be disappointed. With a price only slightly less than far better hotels in town, this motel was very disappointing. Inadequate heating, only one electric blanket working, grubby bathroom. Even with a 4-way powerboard there were not enough power points to run the appliances in the room (fridge, microwave, TV, aircon, tiny column heater, two electric blankets (one not workign), two bedside lights), let alone anything of your own. The power points near the bed were loose and coming away from the wall. The power points in the bathroom were oriented so you couldn't fit a wall charger (e.g. for phone) in. There were no sachets of coffee or sugar, and the two teabags (one green, one peppermint) were on the floor beside the fridge. There was also no milk for a cuppa. Lesser concerns included tight parking space, and very dated decor, but you could excuse those for a cheap motel, which this was not. I should think an electrical safety inspection would be in order.

The price for that hotel should be at backpackers hostel pricing... so so outdated and should be $50 a night not $180.. very very plain

No-one available to check in until nearly 2.30pm, the room was terrible with no wifi, tv was free to air and continually dropped out. The first two units were utilised by women who were turning 'tricks' all day (until approx 11pm) that was clearly audible through the wall. Curtains were ripped and ill fitting, beds looked old and unclean. There was no milk available for coffee...and no cutlery. The end units were occupied by men who were very vocal in the carpark outside until 2.30am, my thoughts were that they were selling "goods".

Old and basic but fairly clean. Only really slept there so did the job. Friendly man at desk was helpful. Probably wouldn’t stay again unless I had no other options. Was very close and handy for the footy.

Staff were super friendly & helpful, lovely clean comfortable rooms. Great parking 👌 will definitely stay again when in Geelong

While the owners were nice the place was not clean. There was chewing gum left on the bedside lamp. There was not enough towels for booked in guests. The electrical cords were not tag and tested and there were power boards due to not enough power points for the facilities they provided. There were no bowls or spoons only cups and a plate. Very disappointing as it could have so much potential

I got the family room for half discount and it was excellent. Near to Thai restaurant. Reception was very accommodating. I'm just uncomfortable with the pillows as it was too high for my head. I was not able to find the key drop off for early checkout.
