Mornington Hotel

Easy access to room from car park on same level. Room was large & spacious, excellent water pressure for the shower too. Happy with our stay

Staff were great and bistro meals were lovely!

Excellent choice. Check-in was simple after we were directed to reception, then up the stairs with our keycards. The room was very large and, in fact, contained an extra single bed. There was ample hanging in the wardrobe, which we used mainly for coats, it being 12c when we arrived (end of May). We stayed two nights, and room service came in while we were out on the Sunday and straightened up the bed and emptied the bins. The room was lovely and warm, as was the bathroom, with its fantastic bath - great after a day in the cold. We ate in the restaurant the first night; my pick was a quite fiery Nasi Goring with my husband choosing from the Specials Menu a not so spicy calamari dish - the opposite of our expectations, but both enjoyed thoroughly. It was busy in there, being Saturday, and it was lovely to see the mix of patrons from kids to the older generation, and the staff were bustling around excellently. There was slight noise up to around 10.30pm as a party was underway, but it didn't stop our watching TV or sleeping. We visited 'Thrift', which is slightly outside town, and then Tyabb Antique Centre and another second-hand place, as well as walking to the centre of town to explore the shops. We saw a 'Steak House' and booked for Sunday night. It was superb, and with drinks wasn't as expensive as I feared. Mornington Hotel is a great base for staying on the Peninsula. I would have loved there to be mugs, and not cups; and Hot-chocolate sachets for the cold season.

Great friendly service from start to finish. The food was quick and tasted great. Would stay here again in a heart beat. Great value for money. Bath was huge - a bit weirdly shaped (couldn’t relax as the internal shape just slid you down under the water). Mattress was a bit uncomfortable- bed felt a bit humped. As we were walking out my partner asked me how I had slept and I commented the pillow didn’t suit me. The lady in the service room overheard and offered to change my pillows for me. Offered me the choice of two. Was so lovely and helpful - a real standout to us. (And yes the pillow on second night was much better - thank you).
