A very enjoyable stay. The hotel is well located with great access to beaches, cafes and restaurants, and a short walk or free bus trip to Wollongong CBD. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. Fabulous outlook from my ocean facing room with balcony. The room was clean. spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was also good. The only negative is the onsite parking charges! Plenty of street parking available close by.
