Arriving here after sunset, we were greeted by a huge red neon sign on top of the building reading ‘Marina Resort’. It actually isn’t a sleazy 80’s disco or massage parlour just a hotel with a big red neon sign. The reception desk is small & cramped with pamphlets & advertisements of local services/businesses & resembles a school canteen, no... more

We found this place to be very close to town. We had 6 people stay in one large room. Two queen beds and the other two on a sofa bed (very uncomfortably) The spa bath was good though the decor was VERY outdated. The view was great and we had a huge balcony. It was priced reasonably. more

Paid AUD99/night on wotif. We got room #007 - Ground floor, 2nd room next to the Reception. Personal rating: 5/10. Cheap accommodation so didn't expect much. Though room is spacious, I think it seriously needs to be refurbished. Found 2 dying crickets in the bathroom ;( Location is fine as it's only a short walk to town centre more

Very happy with my stay generally. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Dividing walls were a bit thin, could hear every word from next door room. Food served in the dining room was generally good quality and well presented. more

Hotel staff were friendly, room a little tired but still comfortable, view beautiful more

I found the hotel to be very clean, quiet and comfortable and my room appeared to be recently re-decorated. It is a short stroll to the marina and shops while the bus to the Williamstown airport stops right outside. Despite being a... more

I have recently stayed at Marina resort for two nights. From the room, I could see the marina, and the sunset I saw from the balcony was incredible! My room had a spa bath and a separate shower. I enjoyed the spa bath very much. I found out the resort has a sauna, so I recommend you to take a... more

We booked this hotel based on the pictures and information we had seen on a website. From the pictures we thought the hotel was by the marina, but it is actually at a top of a hill and has buildings infront of it. The staff were helpful but it felt vary dated and needed a lot of modernisation. more
