I now frequently find myself dropping in for a casual meal when in the city by the bay. The side of Caser is really quite good. Plenty of salty anchovies and crunchy croutons to make each bite perfect. The burrito consists of slow cooked pulled beef, no mince meat chilli con carne here. The steak, always cooked to perfection. There are quite a few good local reds and whites on the wine menu too. If in doubt, the Pepper Jack Shiraz is a trusty staple too.

You couldn't taste the pepper or the calamari but you could taste the salt!. It was bathed in it. It was truly disgusting. Usually a group of us go there for dinner every couple of months and the food is without fault. We were going there in September for dinner again but after our experience with the Salty Calamari we are now going somewhere else. Taste Your Food Before You Send it OUT!

I guess you could consider this to be your typical working man's pub. I guess they can be nice at times, but the problem tends to be the lack of beers available. It sort of puts me off somewhat when I have to drink the cheap swill. I guess I'll pass on this next time.

I guess there is also the awesome atmosphere that I experienced here, and of course the great range of beers. Yeah, this place really did have a great atmosphere to it, even in these CoVid times (not that you would really think that there was a problem here in Australia). Yeah, this pub was great and is definitely worth checking out.

Geelong has been starving of a reasonably priced, good pub food hotel for years. Every time I din a…read morea pub I'm astounded at the prices. Usually about 10% higher than Melbourne. And not even close to the same quality. This little gem located on "Pako"is my new go to when in G town. The food is not only great, put priced accordingly. There are multiple spaces, so you're sure to find a place that fits your need.

I had to keep the blinds drawn from the sight of waterfront strollers.I unfortunately experienced a room so hot I had to leave the balcony doors open to sleep ... very insecure but the air con didn't work. Even on a wintry night I boiled.The taps dripped, the gym machine malfunctioned, nearly cracking my back. The pool is for bobbing only so "fitness centre" is more than an exaggeration. The gym is v small with a couple of cv machines. The "queen" bed was 2 twins pushed together so as always I slept on one side to avoid the discomfort of the middle join. No way the room would be comfortable for 2 people in a twin anyway... it was a lot smaller than the photos suggested. I dont know why hotels don't actually provide what the website says... do they think we wont notice the room isn't spacious? On the upside, the tv experience is excellent with big screen & good fox stations. The pasta room service was good as were the poached eggs at breakfast ... the bacon left in the bain marie was leather tough like most of the rest of the brekkie. On the other hand, the shower was hot & the towels were good in the room. Drop the price & it would get 3 stars... as it is this hotel is below par.

Reasonably priced valet car parking, very comfortable king size bed and friendly staff made our stay very easy. We had a bathroom with the shower over the bath, but I assume they are upgrading, as we have not had previously. If this is an issue it might be wise to mention it when you book.

The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were soft ... Thank goodness. The only thing I can say is overnight if you can zone out of passing traffic from 4am onwards, like trucks and all sorts, then you're okay. But this woke me up several times early in the night. The reception are very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of brochures handy and seem to know answers to many questions one may ask about tourism. I would have to praise the big bathroom and large shower. No bath, no worries.
