1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

Was booked to stay while in Geelong on business. The "Hosts" were a disgrace. They were the perfect example of why some people should not work in the hospitality industry. They were rude, unhelpful, unprofessional, sloppy, non-apologetic (for mistakes that THEY made) and made me feel very unwelcome indeed. The reception area reeked of stale cigarette smoke and the rooms... More

As mentioned above, my husband & I couldn't resist planning & indeed making a second visit to the Aberdeen Motor Inn! Yet again we had a thoroughly relaxing, entirely enjoyable stay. We were in a different room this time & yet again the bed was perfect, enabling us to have a full & refreshing nights sleep. Breakfast did not disappoint... More

Thank your once again Beck for your terrific review; we are amazed by your positive comments. We are not really ready yet to promote the rooms as they still need a lot of the furnishing and final touches .Should have it in place soon through.. We are also refurbing the bathrooms and should be ready by the end of June.... More

Originally booked this motel as it was one of the cheaper options for an overnight stay close to the CBD. Had an exam at the Tafe college which is about 2 min walk away. Check out is 10am but the Owners kindly let me leave my car there until my exam finished at 2pm, am very grateful for that. Rooms... More

A great location for local shops, train/bus station, restaurants and the beautiful beach. My room felt like 'home from home' and had a particular English and tasteful touch to the decor, it was also very clean and comfortable. I thought it was excellent value as the room was furnished with a large flatscreen TV, microwave, tea making facility, toaster and... More

My room was very clean, with a big TV and equipped with microwave, urn, toaster and comfortable bed. Easy walk or very short drive to the CBD and the shore-front, and similarly to the restaurant strip. The staff were very helpful in pointing me in the direction of places to dine out. Easy access to the A10 for my road... More

My second stay at the Aberdeen Motor Inn. The room was perfectly clean, well equipped and maintained, and management I found very accommodating and affable. The motel is very close to the city being only a few blocks away. It's also a 15 minute walk to the rail station and car hire which I found useful. I was there during... More

In March 2011 I gave a favourable review of this motel having stayed there a number of times. Unfortunately their booking process has collapsed. I emailed them three times to confirm a booking for Feb 2013 and got two holding replies. After the third email (Dec 2012) Shelie confimed at favourable rate of $100 per night. 19 days out from...

We are very disappointed that you have been put out by the confusion of an extra ten dollar charge . I did send you an email shortly after your last conversation explaining my husband’s ten dollar error. Perhaps you did not receive it.? We are very sorry that you have chosen to stay elsewhere and will miss not having you... More

My husband & I were thrilled to find that the Aberdeen still has so many of it's original features remaining. This was fantastic!! Sadly too many of these grand accomodations have gone the way of what may be thought of as modernisation, but sadly results in the loss of any unique features, style, class & originality that would enable a...
