Room was very clean. Friendly staff. Good food at the restaurant. Limited parking, had to park in the side street. We stayed 7 nights which was probably too long for this kind of hotel. Not much around the area within walking distance. Wollongong only 5 min drive. Would stay again but only for a couple of nights.

The service was excellent and the price was very affordable. However, the room windows aren't soundproof, making the street noise quite bothersome. One of the key cards not working. Since the bathroom is located outside the room, it was a bit inconvenient for two people staying together

Actually surprised with how much I enjoyed staying at this hotel. Yes - it’s attached to a pub/club, but the hotel part sits almost separate and I found it quiet in my room. Good room and felt super clean, free bottles of water in the cold fridge was appreciated, clean towels and large tv. Perfect! Private male and female shower/toilet available which was great as a solo female and parking available onsite. It’s a small car park but plenty of off street parking. I didn’t eat or drink next door but that’s available for you as well as some local shops on the same street. Overall pleasantly surprised and really appreciated the efforts of the housekeeping team making the room so welcoming - thank you!

I stay here often, nice and cheap, I always enjoy it except for the last time time, the room (3) I was in had a big gap where the window is, I could hear everything in the next room as if we were in a room together I’ll stay again but only if they have queen rooms available

Cleanliness can be better as there’s a cockroach in our room. Basic stuff like toothbrush toothpaste can be provided since shampoo n conditioner were provided anyway. Cheap price and parking space available that’s nice
