While the entrance, a little run down and confusing, and lack of a lift (when lugging large suitcases) is a little off putting, the rooms are clean, bedding very comfortable and decor is modern. Great overnight stopover.

Good for a short stay

Travelled to Wollongong for a semi-business trip - good location and convenient food and drinks in the hotel. On busy road, but noise was not an issue.

Small,but very clean and renovated room and bathroom. Since the rooms are on the same property as the pub, don't expect perfectly quiet nights: our stay was good,but it took a while to fall asleep because of people walking down the corridor and a bit of noise from the pub (nothing too bad though).

There is a restaurant and bar downstairs. The accommodation conditions are average and the facilities are relatively old. If you are traveling on business, this is not a good choice
