Stayed one night for a function in Wollongong. Reception is inside the bottle shop which is “very Wollongong” (I grew up there so I can say that! ) and was staffed by a friendly young man who did an excellent job. The room was very clean, quiet, private and surprisingly modern. It more than met our needs as somewhere to sleep (rather than somewhere you would want to spend hours in) so I would definitely recommend to others. It is adjacent to the large hotel and food facilities which is handy. Only suggestion for improvement: get rid of International Roast as the supplied coffee - yuck !
At the time of check in and check out, both Receptionists went out of their way to assist us with information about the apartments. They also offered recommendations to local restaurants for dinner and breakfast, and both young ladies did so with a smiling face and a happy demeanour.
