Staff were polite, friendly and very helpful.
The room was serviced every day and the view from the balcony was stunning as we could see from the Escarpment to the beach.
Lots to choose from at breakfast, continually being replenished so no shortage of anything.

Cannot fault the staff nor the cleanliness. However at every turn there is an extra charge on top of the room fee...parking, tea, fresh towels, a lemon slice. And buffet breakfast was not worth $42 per person. Absolute wrought by management and the Accor group.

Great quality hotel with a very clean and comfortable room. The reception staff were extremely helpful and welcoming from check-in. The room was spotless, amenities were good quality, and everything felt well maintained. Breakfast was enjoyable with good food and, most importantly, great coffee. Overall a very pleasant stay and I would happily return.

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.
