- Gary (8/5): - Shannons is a well positioned facility for our purposes.
Clean, comfortable and value for money

- Kelly (9/5): Value for money - Large clean rooms, great location, car parking and accommodating management when we required date changes, early check in and extra night stay.
- Steve (9/5): - Easy transaction through booking.com
Large room. Everything we needed. A little concerning being next door to the laundry.
Washing machine going all afternoon but it stopped early evening.
We had been travelling for 2 days and needed to rest, but really everything was fine.
- Miguel (7/5): Convenience - Good Might need a refresh
- Wayne Cashion (8/5): -
- Tegan (10/5): Easy, clean, bang for buck. - Easy check in and spacious room. Facilities were clean and plentiful. The traffic noise. But it’s probably only noticeable for those from the country.
- Leisha (7/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Peter (5/5): - Good room size, beds comfy Not enough light, dated, some tv channels weren't working, asked at the desk, he said, SORRY, NOT MUCH WE CAN DO.

- Peter (10/5): Comfortable and impressed by the cleanliness bed was awesome - Room was extremely clean shower was awesome all the towels etc were laid out beautifully great location an older motel but couldn't fault it full marks to the cleaning staff and management👏👏👏👏👏
- David (7/5): - Nice room, clean, spacious All good
- Parabanwit (3/5): - The room is good and clean especially the bathroom. Too loud in the next room. Can't sleep well. It's annoying when you hear them talking and watching too high volume. Yes, it's worth of money for the price and facilities but I still wouldn't recommend this for someone wants a peaceful night. Thanks
- Terry (8/5): - Bathroom meeds updating. .
- Neville (9/5): Good place, value and location - That we could book rooms at 1 hour's notice.
Spacious rooms
Convenient supermarket across the road. Bed was a too soft
Needed strong muscles to work the cold tap in the shower.
- Skye (5/5): - The people staying next door were loud. I was woken up at 4 in the morning from a lot of loud banging and car doors being shut.
- Colleen (10/5): We went for a purpose and stayed the night - Room was clean. Staff pleasant, and great pizza shop close by The noise of the people in rooms nearby when they left
- Glenda (10/5): - Rooms are great value, and beds are so comfortable
Had everything we needed for our stay It has meals next door somewhere for a nice drink
Woolworths across the road and close to Geelong
- Michael (9/5): -
- DIANE (8/5): Love that there are so many food options within walking distance - I really enjoy the convenience of this location- so many different food options close by you don't have to decide in advance. A hotel next door for dining in, a supermarket across the road where a whole range of meal options can be bought, a service station with a large range of gourmet pies and toasties that can be purchased ready to eat, fish and chips at another store, and pizza. The beds are always comfortable, shower is quite roomy. The position is convenient for us coming into town , or going to Pakinton st,, heading to Settlement road and Fyans st. It would be equally convenient if we wanted to go into the city centre. We are aware that planning to approach the motel from the left (map view) and thereby doing a left hand turn entry increases the ease of arrival greatly. The interior of our room was clean but cigarette butts on the ground just outside the door was unattractive to non-smokers . We actually had to step over them to enter the room so that was disappointing . Initially it appeared as though the TV reception was unwatchable but after experimenting by moving the location of the screen it was fine- some people might not realise they can adjust it so some form of notification would be of value

- Douglas (8/5): -
- Paulini (6/5): Good - Location No laundry
- Lydia (8/5): -
- Joshymon (8/5): -
- Sue-Anne (4/5): disappointing. - Bed was quite comfortable, and the location was good. Overall, just a "tired" motor inn. Towels were stained, mould in the bathroom, air conditioner from last century and a TV that didn't work.
- Sokoveti (8/5): - The rooms were great and the staff accommodating. We were not able to do our laundry and were told we had to go to the Laundromat again to do our laundry.
- Terence (8/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Great place for a short stay . - Staff were very lovely and helpful they let us check in early and we were very grateful for this N/A

- Emily (6/5): Fine if you need a bed for a night - Great location for the event we needed to attend on the night. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Toiletries weren't replenished for our stay. Also had a strange smell in our room.
- Chris (9/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): Good value convenient stay. - A comfortable lounge and a good TV. Conveniently close to the Departure point for Spirit of Tasmania. Plumbing in the shower could use an update.
- Leanne (10/5): -
- Matty (10/5): -
- Woods (7/5): -
- Carol (7/5): Only for budget conscious travellers. - Convenient for catching the ferry, and right opposites Woolies. The bed was uncomfortable. Very dated property. Noisy, right next to a busy road.
- Matt (8/5): -
- Robyn (7/5): Clean, quiet and comfortable budget motel. - Myself and 2 teenage girls travelling and staying overnight for soccer games. Family room with separate bedroom with single beds for the girls. Plates, bowls, etc all provided to cater for yourself in room if desired. Clean, quiet and comfortable for a budget motel.

- Knight (5/5): - Great location, nearby to shops, pub and public transport access. Forks weren't included in cutlery, only knives and spoons. Tv reception was quite poor.
- Ingrid (8/5): -
- Roy (8/5): Comfortable and cosy - Parking not great
- Carlo (9/5): -
- Katherine (6/5): Not the worst room I have stayed at , lights too dull , elderly mother struggled to see,. - Large room , plenty of bathroom and kitchen condiments Poor lighting , average beds carpet felt damp
- Cheryl (10/5): Chez - Very clean and close to shops, easy to get to. Nothing
- Michael (9/5): Very good - The room was very clean and we also had Netflix… more than I expected at very reasonable price 🙏 The bathroom … a bit doom but clean🙏
- Narelle (8/5): -
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Andrea (3/5): - Room was clean and tidy Noisy people next to room loud and smoking made room smell
- Fiona (7/5): Good overnight stop - Well provisioned for an overnight stay Tired room and bathroom
- Peter (8/5): -
- Peter (10/5): -
- Andy (8/5): Nice place to stay - Good location good size room. Phone/internet reception was bad.
- Matthew (4/5): Check out the others first - It was great to have individual toiletries and quality sachets of coffee (Moccona). As well there was ample toilet paper and facial tissues. What first struck us was the overwhelming smell of room deodoriser, but this was dispelled by opening up the room for a couple of hours. There was cutlery, but only knives and spoons. The Woolworths across the road suppied the forks.
What was totally unacceptable was the state of the mattress. It must have been an original. One half was flat and firm, the other half sank to the floor. You know that 'roll out of bed' feeling by motel owners too cheap to claim upgrades against their tax.
- Felicity (7/5): We enjoyed the night we stayed and would book again. - It was clean and comfortable . Spacious and the bed was ok. Never like trying a new bed. Even though the decor was dated it was ok .
Close to amenities and easy access to the Spirit of Tasmania. A shelf in the bathroom would be good as there is nowhere to put the toiletries.
The lighting could be better. The light near the microwave is difficult to turn on.
- Lyndell (9/5): -
- Alan (8/5): Would definitely visit again. - Room was clean and well presented.
Supermarket, petrol stations, pub and 3 other eateries all within short walking distance.
Very conveniently located and affordable as we were travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania. Car park is quite tight, as we have an older car. Managed OK but would have been a little struggle if car park was full.
- Bruce (5/5): Very average. - It was average but then it was very cheap. The sheets were clean. Bathroom door didn’t close. Shower head fell off, couldn’t get it back on. Bed was far too hard. The one comfy chair was so wonky we were frightened to sit in it. Overall it needs some money spent on it and some TLC.
- Roger (10/5): It was a very enjoyable stay. - We found our stay to be extremely comfortable.
Staff were very helpful and friendly, room was clean and comfortable.
The room was very clean, plenty of space for 3 adults.
Was close to places we wanted to see. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
- Rod (7/5): -
- Kathryn (9/5): - They still have the old breakfast delivery door that they have turned into a cupboard for toaster, electric kettle etc. Well stocked. Clean. Comfortable
