Good basic motel accommodation and very friendly staff. Having small containers of shampoo and conditioner would have been good.

We were running late for check-in and the motel contacted us with an easy late check-in alternative which was most welcome. I would recommend this motel for easy access to shops, restaurants, sporting events etc. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

It was loud at night due to proximity of pubs clubs etc but you are aware of this when booking so hard to fault the business for this. great place if you are going out in the gong or want to be in walking distance

The staff were lovely and the property is secure from random people wandering through which is great as it is right next to several night clubs.
That being said I am glad the car park was secure as I was woken several times during the night by the sound of people throwing up outside and it was nice to know that it wasn’t on my car.
The room was VERY worn and dated but I was grateful for a place to sleep and a hot shower

The property location near the Arts Precinct and restaurants in Wollongong is great.
Welcome at Reception was friendly and courteous.
The room was clean and comfortable enough but basic with decor of the 1970s.
