Geelong Rippleside Park Motor Inn

Handy to rail and also the spirit.
Traffic was a bit noisy. But I just turned on the aircon to drown it out. Slept wonderfully. Arrived late and left early. Great position.

Paul, the manager, totally went out of his way to make sure my stay was everything I needed. Friendly, knowledgeable, and all-around great guy.

I was meant to stay at another nearby hotel that ended up being booked with kids going on excursion, they directed me to here and handled all of the business including payments as mine was set to be automatic The manager is probably the nicest person I’ve ever met, excellent service and helped me move the dates with no problems [I was coming down here with my partner for hot air ballooning but it got moved a day over so I had to change every other booking to coincide with our main plans] and the manager made that so effortless, it was quick and easy. The room was clean and one bed had heated blankets which was a good surprise. Only downside was that the shower head was very flimsy and if you’re a light sleeper you might be woken up by the highway, it didn’t personally bother me or my partner but I can see how it might be a downside. And I heard there was free wifi but I don’t think it applied to the rooms as neither my partner or I was able to access it and we weren’t given a password or anything. But in all honesty for the price and the availability [everything is close in terms of distance] and the service, it’s a great little place, there was even enough parking when we got there.

Large rooms with good facilities. Could be a bit noisy but comfortable and clean. Secure parking close to the foreshore and walking trails.

Classic Motor Inn, sizable rooms, big bathrooms and great accommodating staff running it.
Stayed here twice now and could recommend to anyone needing a nights' stay for cheap in Geelong, only a few KM from the CBD

Decent price for it being New Year’s Day
Bed was very hard and old. Definitely needs updating.

I have stayed in this motel a few times and I just love it here. The owner is friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. He was really chatty and engaging and we sat outside chatting to his cleaning staff who were just as nice. The room was amazing and bed was comfortable, price was great and well worth it. We don’t stay anywhere else but here and they know us by our first names when we book. If you want old fashioned customer service with a smile, you will love it here!
