“This hotel positions itself as a business-friendly option in Wollongong's CBD, but the aging infrastructure seems to overshadow its central location. While spacious apartments with kitchen facilities appeal to families, reports of cleanliness issues and dated furnishings give me pause. For business or leisure, a thorough update seems necessary to meet expectations.”
