Crowne Plaza Geelong by IHG

8/10 Good
"Go for the bay view which is worth the extra. High quality but decor is rather dark and dull. Not bright enough lighting in the rooms. Our room had no lighting over the in room coffee machine area (bring your phone). Highlights were Bed, Shower, Skyline Bar and Breakfast, including excellent barista coffee. Service staff were good. Dinner did not impress."
