Dodgy bathroom.
The room was quite clean except for the towels. One of them had a sticky substance on it, hopefully it was chewing gum.
Also the tap in the bathroom was damaged and when I tried to report it to reception they weren't interested.

We have stayed at a number of properties in NSW, SA and Victoria during our current trip and this rates as the best motel we have stayed in. As a result of this motel we are planning our next trip to Geelong only. The guy at reception was extremely helpful and when we asked if we could change our room to a ground floor room, he obliged but also gave us a room upgrade and at no extra cost. Highly recommend this motel.
