Bayside Geelong Hotel & Apartments, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was perfect for a little getaway with the kids. Room was stunning and amenities provided were great - we especially loved the nice touch of a little gift for the kids on our beds when we arrived. The kids loved the pool. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. We paid a little extra to include breakfast - it was a continental buffet with toast, cereal, juice, barista coffee included, and a small selection of fruits, pastries, meats and cheese. We had the option to upgrade for $10 to include eggs, or replace the buffet with an a la carte meal, but the kids enjoyed the buffet and it was enough to get us going for the day. Plenty of parking on the street next door if needed overnight, though there is a 2 hour limit during the day. Otherwise parking is very pricey at the hotel. Overall it was a great stay and we will definitely return!"
