The room is spacious and clean. The amenities provided are convenient, and practical. The bed is nice and comfortable to sleep on with extra pillow to help to be more comfortable and at ease. The room is well maintained and looked after. It's location is superb, central to almost everything which can just be a walking distance to shops and supermarkets. We recommend this hotel to those who are looking for value for money.

We were not able to park our car just in front of our rooms. But this is minor. We were still able to get to our car, reasonably. However, in one of the rooms we booked, the microwave was not working.

The staff were friendly & helpful. They provided the extras that we needed. They are generous in many ways (eg extra cups in the fridge, toiletries, face towels & cookies). The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The place was quiet though located next to the road. The toilet and the bath were separated with separate doors. The place is really clean.

The portable heater did not work very well so the bedroom was kind of cold. The bathroom floor was cold & so was the dining area floor as it was not carpeted.

. The bed was very comfortable and had nice sheets and good pillows. The shower has plenty of space and hot water. The room has a microwave, toaster and kettle, allowing to have breakfast and microwave meals at night. The room is well maintained and serviced daily keeping the room clean and has a reversecycleairconditioning. The rear rooms were quiet at night and allowed a great sleep. Having a separate couch and good sized TV makes the room relaxing at night. The bath towels are very nice quality.

The bathroom is quite old and the shower head is at the wrong end near the wall opening with a shower curtain and leaks onto the floor. The vanity is small and not much space to place toiletries. The unit feels a bit cold as it is exposed brick and no seals on the entry door.

There are many great aspects to Shannon Motor Inn -Value, Location, Consideration, Comfort, Cleanliness, Convenience, Attractive furnishings, Comradery. Value-well priced; Location-Food options -nearby Hotel, and Bistro. Short walk Fish and Chips, Pizza or Convenience store. BBQ available. Consideration-willingness to respond to achievable requests; Comfort-beds, option of blankets or doona; Cleanliness- excellent- cleaning staff wearing masks; Convenience-short drive to Central Geelong, Geelong Beach or Geelong North Station for those wanting a day in Melbourne. Attractive furnishings-similar to those in upmarket City Hotels, comfortable lounge chairs. Comradery- the U-shaped layout of the building and seating outside each unit. Although provided for smokers it also provides the opportunity to sit outside with a coffee and interact with other guests if desired.

My fault entirely. I forgot to check. I need a reminder to check whether the window has been left open to air the room. When it is open it is hidden by the curtain, but cools the room.

Very comfy beds. Parking at door. Level access. A little dated but very clean. Out of the CBD a little. Walk around the corner for an excellent pub meal. Large Woolies right across the road.

Lighting was quite dim. Might get a bit of road noise if you had a unit at the front as the motel is located on a fairly busy road.

We were travelling to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania the following day. We found the Shannon motor inn was extremely convenient for this. We had a great meal at the hotel next door, and fuel was cheap at the corner of the street. We were happy with the location and the facilities, and the service at the Shannon Motor inn.

The location was great for us. We were just getting off the Spirit of Tasmania and it was a quick and easy 5 min drive to get there. Staff were friendly and pleasant on arrive. The rooms were quite large and spacious with a small dining table and chairs which was great for our takeaway. Comfortable beds.

Had every thing we needed for our quick stay - comfortable bed, roomy shower, spacious room and an iron (we were going for a wedding). The little details were what really made me glad we chose this place and it was very affordable. The smallest detail I really liked what the little jug they provided so you could easily fill the kettle without trying to get the whole kettle under the sink tap.

Only negative thing was unfortunately the Wifi was not very strong (would cut out at times) and that part of the suburb is a bit of a dead zone for mobile phone reception. Living in the super digital world, it made it a little difficult to order taxis/ubers but we managed.

We have stayed here many times over the past 6+ years when visiting Geelong. Great location for us. Pub/bottle shop next door, Woolies across the road, takaway pizza and Chinese food on the corner and only a few minutes to the train station and CBD. Always clean rooms with comfy beds. It's not the Ritz but at $130 you can't go wrong!

Extremely clean and comfortable, dark and quiet at night, staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Room was beautifully serviced each day, great quality towels and a good supply of tea and coffee as well as toiletries. Very close to everything, right near some great restaurants and cafes on Pakington St, as well as easy to head out to the peninsula from here. We loved our stay and will stay again!!

Decor a little dated, but all in good condition.
