“The Inn strikes me as a reliably busy spot, where rooms are consistently clean and well-equipped, including handy cutlery - a thoughtful touch. I appreciate its proximity to Geelong's central shopping area and various leisure options; plus, there's an on-site restaurant that seems quite popular. It could use a bit of updating, but overall, it's a solid choice, especially for families or those attending events at nearby Kardinia Park.”
