Location
Located around a 5-minute stroll from the 19th-century HM Prison Geelong, the 4-star Bay City Motel Geelong offers 18 rooms with views of the garden. The motel is a good starting point for exploring Geelong, including the Old Geelong Gaol, which is only 250 metres away.
This Geelong hotel is situated within a 1-km distance of Market Square Shopping Centre and not far from St Mary of the Angels Basilica. The nearby entertainment attractions are Royal Geelong Yacht Club (300 metres) and Geelong Performing Arts Centre (1.1 km). The Bay Geelong allows you to enjoy such natural sights as the landscaped parkland "Johnstone Park" a mere 12 minutes' stroll away. The accommodation is just 400 metres from Geelong Hospital/Ryrie St bus station.
The rooms at the hotel include an iron and ironing board, and air conditioning, as well as media facilities like a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. A separate toilet and a shower, along with hair dryers and bath sheets, are provided in the bathroom. Guests are welcome to use a kitchen with a microwave oven, an electric kettle, and a refrigerator in a deluxe apartment.
The restaurant Eastern Spice is located right around the corner from Bay City Motel.
Review by hotel critic
As a seasoned luxury travel blogger hailing from the beautiful city of Brussels, I was intrigued to experience the balance between cost and opulence at Bay City Motel. The location was indeed superb, with easy access to restaurants, the waterfront, and shopping hotspots. The room, while comfortable, fell short of the expectations set by the 'superior' title, lacking certain amenities like a dining table and ample towels. Despite these shortcomings, the cleanliness and the attractive decor, particularly in the renovated bathroom, were noteworthy. The shower's user-friendly design was a standout feature. Additional touches like complimentary toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV added a touch of convenience. However, the absence of certain luxuries like room service or electric blankets may leave some luxury-seeking guests desiring more. Bay City Motel offers a clean, comfortable stay with some luxury elements, but perhaps falls slightly short in terms of providing true value for the money.
