Dear Guest, Thanks for your feedback. Rydges Geelong is committed to delivering and maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. In response to COVID 19, additional preventive measures have been taken as per the directive by the government which restricts the pool, gym and spa to be operational in the hotels under the current climate. We also advise these measures upon check-in via a guest welcome letter which I am sure you must have received. Once again we thank you for your patience and cooperation with what we understand is a "different Hotel Experience "in these extenuating circumstances. We hope that you will stay with us the near future again once the restrictions are lifted. Kind Regards Garry Manchanda Assistant Front Office Manager Rydges Geelong

While there has been updates the actual property is very tired and with the original clag ceilings the overall experience was much less than 4 star. Also happened to look under the beds in our room and they were very dusty and dirty. The phone connected was not functioning properly and the socket was hanging out of the wall.

We loved it, room was amazing, the bed was so soft and one of the ladies who work there was amazing, I think her name was Jeanne. She was extremely helpful and checked in with us each day to see if there was any issues
