The kitchen has everything but a stove. It's got cups and plates and cutlery which came in handy. Booking.com had it at $138 per night but when I called them directly they gave me the same room for $100. Booking.com is a great search tool but call hotels directly to book! Its fairly old looking and when the rooms next door use their water the pipes seem to make loud noises. The blankets were thin and I needed two of them. And there is a little dust here and there but clean for the most part.

A 2min walk from Foodworks, the Lorne Visitor Centre, a cute breakfast place and pizza place, and a 5 min walk from the beach and other shops. Does the trick for low-maintenance road trippers who want a safe/clean place to crash in between drives.

It also seemed a little strange that a few things we tried ordering we were told they'd run out including milk for coffee. I wouldn't recommend this place. Spend your money elsewhere. It wasn't popular in the slightest so I think that says something in itself.

We stayed in one of the eco tents, a very sturdy structure that kept plenty warm in a chilly night with the plug in heater. The beds were the most comfortable in our entire stay through Australia.

Great for a weekend but has all the amenities such as pool, tennis courts and bbq areas for longer stays. The owner is really lovely and keeps her office open all day if you'd like to grab a vhs (yep, but you also have a dvd player in your loft as well) or some birdseed to feed the friendly cockatoos and parakeets that will visit your patio. It's charming, private and you can hear the roar of the ocean at night. Magical!

That said, although the facade looks a bit tired, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the location is within a kilometre or so to the city's main attractions. My past experience with the Mercure brand has proved the greatest asset is their staff and Geelong does not disappoint. Dinner at the Brasserie was adapted to my crazy dietary needs (without tasting bland) and the range of wine was great. Staff were also friendly and openly accommodating. Parking is outdoors (which makes for a soggy walk if raining) and there are limited leisure facilities but it all depends what you're after. As far as I'm concerned, my stay has been great!

If I'm not paying full price for a room (reward points, last minute/wotif/hotels combined), I expect to be placed in a room that is less than the hotels best. The experience I had at the Mercure Geelong certainly reinforced that view. I won't be returning, and should you have the misfortune to be allocated room 107, I suggest you request being moved. Another tip, parking in the hotel is $18 a day, but it is free overnight on the street out the front, with three hour limits during business hours. The bed is a chiropractor's best friend, and sounds like it is four days older than god. I have not heard springs groan so much in a hotel ever. I didn't notice any roll together, but the mattress felt like the section under my waist had been removed. Even after a number of beers, it was uncomfortable. The next morning we were awoken by the sound of wailing children next door. The walls were seemingly not designed to contain noises. I could even hear the TV through the wall. Poor. My highlight was the bathroom goodies. Room temperature was nice. When we checked out, a man named Phil was rather helpful, so that at least we left on a pleasant note.
