Staff were very helpful,rooms were modern and clean. But 1 star for parking as we had to park in a public carpark about a 7min walk from hotel. Tried to book the hotel carpark 3 days before hand and it was full. I noticed there was a conference on so maybe they took all the parks

Staff was wonderful. The Aircon in the room was not very strong which was quite uncomfortable. The park is convenient but expensive.

The Holiday Inn is modern and conveniently located. The only downside is that you have to separately book and pay a second party for parking your car, even though it’s parked underneath the same building.

Overall happy with our stay, we were upgraded which was a nice touch to New Year’s Eve. However, upon entering the room it had not been cleaned properly. There was hair from the previous guests scattered across the room floor, we also had to rewash the plates and cutlery. There was no drying rack to place the wet dishes and Chrome cast did not work in the lounge room. Other than this, we were happy with our stay. Staff were amazing, very accommodating and helpful.

Unfortunately our experience with Holiday Inn Geelong was really poor. It was a shame that this new facility has very poor management. We had to wait for 2.5 hours to check in while handling with 2 very tired young children on a super hot day. A "good way" to get you keep buying drinks from the bar. Given we wasted 3 hours waiting for our room, we didn't get the chance to enjoy our stay. The solution they offer was a pitiful discount on our FUTURE stay. With this horrible experience, we'll not return and will not recommend this hotel to anyone. The car park has very limited spaces comparing to hotel rooms, we were unable to book a car space. The nearby street parking is not guaranteed and there is no loading bay at the front of the hotel. The restaurant within the hotel has nice food but on pricy side. Once again, it was short staffed and our side plates never arrived! We booked buffet breakfast for the next day and yes, the other reviews are correct - by 9am, there is no juice left. And its coffee machine can't even make a simple latte!

The staff at the reception are not friendly, no experience, and there is no facility for disabled children, I have a disabled girl and on the first night the staff refused to reheat her food as she cannot eat normal food so I have prepared special food for her, no daily cleaning for the room, the car park is very difficult to park, not safe at all,, very expensive $35 per night, microwave is only available in single room but not in a double room. I asked if my room could see the ocean, staff answered me in a very rude way "Of course you are aware of what you paid which is not for a sea view" with no offer to help in getting our languages as my wife was busy to help my daughter to sit in the stroller, really, it was a very bad experience

Food and beverage options are way over priced. Breakfast buffet towards the end of sitting isn't overly topped up and some items were old and needed refreshing. The bircher museli used to be my fave but now it's served in a larger bowl vs individual set pots is gluggy and slimy. Not great. Buffet is not value for money. Do better
