Holiday Inn & Suites Geelong, an IHG Hotel

We had the steak night deal which was excellent value, and delicious. The breakfast was a very nice treat. The egg menu meant we could request how we wanted our eggs cooked, and they were made fresh for us. The facilities were very nice. Being the middle of winter I had thought it too cold to go for a swim. I wish I did bring my swimmers however as the pool was lovely and warm and would have been a nice treat. The room was very nice.

Room was clean and spacious, typical of any other Holiday Inns. Location is great for those seeking halal food as there are several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Secured parking is available though comes at a small fee - you would need to book beforehand but the process was simple and fast. Once booked, you simply need to drive up to the entrance, a camera will recognise your car plate number and open up automatically.

We had a lovely stay! The location was great, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the room spotless. Reception was warm and accommodating, making check-in smooth and welcoming. We were three families celebrating friendship and requested rooms next to each other — and they made it happen, which made the experience even more special. We had dinner at Maestro, the hotel’s restaurant, and the steak was absolutely divine. A pleasant surprise was the complimentary kids’ meals – such a thoughtful touch! Breakfast had limited options, but everything was delicious, and the servers and chefs were friendly and attentive.

Honestly, this was a really nice stay! The hotel was very clean, which is my top priority when choosing accommodation. The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions. The location was also excellent—convenient and close to everything I needed. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely stay here again!

Very family friendly. Able to have the two big beds in one room, lots of room for luggage and actual drawers, shelves and places you could put things without children getting to them. Also a little door clip that meant the kids couldn't pull open the door (and no one could be able to get in even with a swipe card). Children under 12 eat free if an adult has breakfast. Overall a great place, helpful staff and great location particularly for the arts centre. Make sure to book your onsite parking in advance.
