This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel over a period of years - the location is excellent as regards proximity to the beach, the many dining options close by as well as a very convenient free bus that takes you around Wollongong. However, for a four star hotel, I feel its' standard has slipped considerably this visit. Upon arrival, the room had clearly not been vacuumed properly, with remnants of snacks from the previous guests in multiple areas of the room. It took two complaints and four days for the room to be properly vacuumed! Also, I experienced one incident of staff going into my personal belongings and removing a couple of items (food related)! I also miss some of the complimentary items that were provided in the past, for example no vanity packs in the bathroom, no laundry bag or slippers.

We loved the absolute beachfront of this hotel location. Being able to get up in the morning and go for a walk up to the lighthouse and then a swim at the North Beach and then coffee and breakfast was excellent!!! We also loved the cocktail bar for a night cap after dinner, lovely furnishing. It would have been nice to get free parking considering the cost of the rooms. That would have made everything 5 star ratings!!
