Four Points by Sheraton in Geelong

This week I spent two nights in Geelong and stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton on Eastern Beach Road. It is located right on the harbour across from the Pier.

Service was excellent. The restaurant was good, but I felt the menu was a bit thin. Preferred dessert option was unavailable both nights. Room was adequate size and had all the stuff I needed, TV, internet connection, good quality iron, well stocked mini bar, good sized bathroom, and a comfortable bed.

My only gripe is that at night when you turn the lights out in the room the black out curtains don't block out the light from the car parks very well and it was quite difficult to get the room dark. This was on level 7 so I am not sure it would be better on other floors, perhaps it might be best to avoid the western side of the building.

Here are some things you could do if you have got a bit of time to look around town:

Ford Discovery Centre
Something for the car ethusiast and history buffs, I was pretty impressed but was a little disappointed not to find a Ford XC Coupe in all the cars.

Lamby's Restaurant
If you are looking for a nice place for lunch or dinner then try Lamby's. Very nice feeling about it, service and food was first class.
