There was a slight delay because online checking information was not sent in time and had to be followed up with phone calls at check in time.

I loved how I could experience both feelings of the comforts of home is to me, and how I also felt as if I was away on vacation. Pleased to say the check in was great and so to speak the customer service was amazing. Didnt have any difficulties or trouble and was happy with my stay. I sincerely thank-you for our stay John!

As a single visitor, and AFLW supporter, McKillop Geelong was the ideal stay. It is within walking distance of the football ground and a comfortable stay

Given the abundance of warnings we were given by John about what my dog could or couldn’t do I thought the apartment would be clean and the furnishings new. The place was filthy and I was glad I bought a blanket for the couch so my Dog & I didn’t have to sit on it! Missing slats in the blinds meant the sun woke us early. Not that we slept well, the pillows were cheap and useless The dining chairs were ripped & gross. The air conditioner was so loud we were worried to use it in case it bothered the neighbours. Paid a premium as it was unfortunately the same weekend as a football game - thought it was odd John was happy to tell me we were being ripped off! So not value for money!

Manager was responsive which was good. Cleanliness was fair. Comforter on bed needs to be thicker for a Victorian winter. Ac heat was average quite cold Ac had cobwebs in it seemed not to be maintaining heat. There was no soap in the bathroom dispenser was empty.

Disjointed booking process, booking in and sharing same info in another required form. Apartment was not well equipped, for example there was one glass and in the cutlery section one folk for a 6 guest apartment. Fan were clunky, one looked unsafe and extremely loud for sleeping.
Was clean and good parking options available.
