Top Highton Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Geelong by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel in town. Waterfront, landmark building, close to everything"

Wyndham Resort Torquay

8/10 Good

"We had a little issue when we first checked in as the room we were given was under maintenance. Thankfully, the manager was very nice and kindly offered to upgrade us to another room, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a nice stay, although we were a little disappointed with the parking situation. Just because you have a room booked doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have a secured car park. Parking is first come, first served, and if there are no available spaces, guests are advised to park at the public beach parking across the road. The indoor pool was also quite cold, so we didn’t really get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Apart from those things, we still had a pleasant stay and really appreciated how the manager handled our room issue."

Novotel Geelong

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful. The room as nice and spacious with a balcony. We requested for the room to be made up upon check in but had to request again as housekeeping had not been- they were prompt to do so. The construction of the new tower was only a bother in the morning and it was a little frustrating that we were only informed this was happening after booking a non refundable room. Luckily our second night was a public holiday."

Holiday Inn & Suites Geelong by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for one night here but we enjoyed our meal at the restaurant and had a good nights sleep in the comfortable bed. We hadn’t booked a parking bay and there wasn’t one available but we were able to park our car around the corner and had no problems."
