Aberdeen Motor Inn in Geelong

What guests think

Across recent reviews of Aberdeen Motor Inn, guests consistently describe very dated rooms with maintenance problems and occasional noise, and many feel the overall value is weak for the price paid, while others found it acceptable for a basic stop.

Cleanliness feedback ranges widely, from reports of mould, musty odours and unclean bathrooms to notes of tidy linen and acceptable basics. Several reviewers praise friendly, helpful hosts, while others encountered absent or brusque staff and even disruptive closures with poor communication. The location is central and walkable to venues and shops, but expect a basic motel experience rather than a modern hotel.

This place is straight out of the 1950's. Tiny room, bed as hard as a rock, shower curtain type shower in an equally small bathroom, too small to dress in. No exhaust fan, winder mechanism to open the bathroom window was broken. Carpet was dirty and the room was musty. Furnishings look like they were picked up from hard waste. AC was good and it was quiet (no road noise). Linen was clean & fresh. TV worked. One tiny UHT milk handed over at check in for 2 people to have a coffee. Paid $205 for a night - ridiculous overcharge.

We didn't even stay 10 minutes. The bathroom was mouldy and the toilet leaked. The was old, too red and smelled damp It was unfit and unhealthy for my young child to sleep there. Late on a Friday night, I had to quickly find another room at my own expense. Do not stay here.

You get what you pay for. The place is old but... It is clean, the bed is comfortable, the air con effocnet and quiet and did I mention it was clean? Bill was an excellent t mmhost when the Ferry was three hours late. Nothing seemed a bother so excellent customer service as well. As an over nighter you can't fault the place for value for money.

It is a joke. The laughing stopped when I remembered how much we paid. Multilingual staff have limited English. One uncomfortable chair in the room for two people. Dirty, spider webs on the ceiling, no bathroom exhaust fan. The cleaner uses the reading lamp electricity wall plug and does not plug the lamp back in. Three glasses. One side plate, no other plates. Local pub was shut. Really old SD TV so I doubt if it can be used for streaming video. No wifi unless you go to the office to ask for a user name and password. Then there are also a few negatives, like $205 per night for a room that is unfit for purpose.

Property serves its purpose but it was very old and the bathroom was so old and disgusting that I couldn’t use the shower. Also wasn’t impressed to see the owner standing outside my door at 9:50am waiting to pounce on 10am checkout. I couldn’t actually walk out the door until he stepped aside. So rude and god forbid I left at 10am on the dot. Wouldn’t stay there again

We were refused entry to our room by a security guard as the hotel was under closure so we were unable to stay which on seeing it we were probably lucky but didn’t get a refund from them or wot if even though it was their fault. So don’t trust either company

Well, the location was good. The premises is old and tired. It is clear there is no concern about facilities, safety and refurbishment. We were not expecting the Ritz but at the same time we were expecting a moderately respectable premises. Zero stars!
