Poor communication

I booked this motel 2 nights; it was walking distance to the football stadium. I arrived Thursday at 10:30 pm after a train trip from Melbourne, but I found the front desk closed for the night. That caught me off guard; I assumed every major hotel chain (or smaller) was manned 24 hours. I had to walk through town in the rain and fortunately found another hotel to stay that night. I found my credit card had been charged for two nights. The next day after 11 am I went to the motel and told the clerk about my situation and requested a refund for the previous night, but she told me there had been a spot where I could pick up my key (I was not aware) and I would need to talk to the owners later that day. There was nothing in any correspondence I received by e-mail, nor on the web site, that the front desk would be closed late at night and I expected a refund for the first night. I checked into the room and went back into town for the day. When I got back, the owners had gotten wind that I told the day clerk, and the male was unreasonable and told me I should have known to pick up my key that night and he would not refund me. Fortunately, Linda did refund me for the first night and I appreciate her doing that. As for the room, it was more similar to a Motel 6 in the states than the Best Westerns I have stayed at; basic. The bathroom was a bit tight and TV a bit slow to change channels. I did have a similar situation in Melbourne where the front desk at the hotel I stayed closed at 6 pm but I was made aware of that in advance. But I wasn't aware when I got to this motel in Geelong and it could have been very dangerous had I not found another hotel. In the future, I will always stay at hotels that I know have 24-hour reception.

Hidden Gem and so Close to the Footy!!

The close proximity to Simonds Stadium was my reason for choosing the Best Western Admiralty. Lucky for me, it was a terrific choice.
The friendly reception was very welcoming. The room was, well, roomy, had everything I could have needed. I went for an afternoon walk and was entertained by the historical architecture in the neighbourhood as well as assortment of interesting shops.
As quite a few of the guests went to the footy as I did I was worried about security and noise after the game. The room was so quiet I didn't hear a noise until my alarm woke me in the morning. It is the quietest hotel I have ever stayed at, without a doubt.
They next morning I took advantage of the Breakfast Room, another pleasant surprise. Yummy breakfast at a very reasonable price. Decent coffee - no instant.
The staff couldn't have been more helpful. I want to stay again.

Fantastic, very quiet and comfortable

King size bed, very clean, the hosts were magnificent even when we arrived late they offered to cook us a meal, right on the edge of the city shops. The hosts even put the heater on for us as they knew we would arrive late.

Stay here at least 2 times a month and always find these rooms to be beautifully appointed with some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on.
Bathrooms are some of the best designed and functioning ones I have seen.
