The worst motel we have ever stayed in.  It was dirty.  Blood stains on the coverlet.  The shower is above the spa and because of the design of the spa the footing was uneven and dangerous.  There is no lift and entry to our floor was via a outside stairway and apart from being exposed to the rain it was also slippery and dangerous.  Part of the stairway didn't even have a railing.  Cleanliness is also a feature with cockroaches scuttling around the bathroom at night.  It is very noisy with yahoos speeding around.  Mattress was okay but only a few rocklike pillows.  It made the fabled  Fawlty Towers look like a palace.  Never again, it doesn't matter where but not this dump.  It would best knocked down and redeveloped.  Only bright light was a charming and helpful couple running it.

Motel from Hell

The beach was nice, but the weather was horrible.
Still - the worst aspect was not the weather, but the rude staff and the dirty rooms, not even acceptable in a cheap hostel, let alone in a motel.
Not recommended!

Unfriendly staff, dirty rooms

believe what you read....dirty,smells of smoke...tired old bed and room...but the worst is the dodgy people hanging around...after hearing noises from downstairs carpark i went o look and encountered a bloke coming up stairs...with no business to be here...checking on my van i noticed more undesirables hanging around...unable to sleep now for fear of my van being broken into i decided to sleep in it....wheres the police when you need them...clean this hole up...its scary

OMG....believe what you read....apart from being dingy,overpriced hole it is littered with dodgy people...one i encounte

The nearby beach is beautiful and the most positive aspect, but the location is otherwise very loud, being a main street.
The doona looked old and possibly dirty. I do hope they wash it after every guest.
The receptionist/manager was often not in the office, was not helpful with info and looked quite uninterested . There were no brochures about the place anywhere either.

Mostly disappointing

This place was fantastic. They bent over backwards for me and my kids. We stayed for 4 nights. Great service fresh sheets and towels everyday. Highly recommended this place to anyone coming to wollongong..

What could anyone possibly say in a positive review of this place.
It’s disgustingly smelly of tobacco smoke, dope, weed & an array of other smells. The carpet is stained, but the cockroaches seemed friendly. 
The clientele who come & go at all hours, doing who knows what - left us feeling nervous (scared) to be there, so we left early. 
If we’d known it wasn’t in a nice part of town we never would have stayed there & the desk person could have made us aware.

It was like the staff were doing us a favour. The room smelled of cigarette smoke, the bathroom wasn't very clean and the shower set up was ridiculous. One of the powerpoints was getting ready to come off the wall. The bed was ok but that was it. Way overpriced for what it is. I've seen better rooms in dodgy pubs. Stay away.

Dreadful

We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night.  As soon as I walked into the foyer and saw a crabby elderly woman who looked unhappy to see us, I knew it was a wrong choice.  
No lifts, we had the top floor, 2nd storey.
As soon as we opened the door, I was transported to the 1960’s. Everything was so outdated.
I will admit the room was very clean, and the cleaning girl was very friendly.
There are a lot of dodgy looking men walking around the complex, or standing on the verandah smoking, and NON STOP police presence. 
The walls are paper thin, the Friday night, the man next door must’ve been on his phone all night till 4am, we could hear everything.
Then on Saturday night, at 7pm, if we made a slight noise, he would bang on the wall for us to be quiet. 
At 2am Saturday morning, we were woken to the sound of smashing glass, sounded to me like a car window.
Next minute, in the car park where we park our car, a fight broke out, and a woman shouted that her car window was smashed.  The language and noise was atrocious. 
I looked out the window to see a woman on top of a car, and the car doing burnouts trying to fling the woman off!  The next minute she was flung to the ground.  They were all under the influence of drugs.  The noise kept us awake, and we were too fearful to leave our room as there were lots of undesirables hanging around the stairwells. 
The motel is very run down, and in need of desperate repair. 

The owner has to decide if she wants it as a drug drop in centre or an actual motel.  I am just glad we had no children with us, as it was not a pleasant place to stay.
In hindsight, we should not have stayed there at all.

I have learnt a lesson, read Trip Advisor reviews first!!!!

DO NOT STAY! JUNKIE DROP IN CENTRE

Where to start 
1. The whole venue had a very strong smell of pot and cigarette 
2. The room was outdated needs a major renovations still stuck in the 60's
3. The shower window was a clear glass window not a bathroom frosted glass and a security camera outside the window that looks to be looking into the shower

Should have stayed in car

Older motel built in the 1960s even still has an actual bathtub instead of small shower cubicle,staff friendly and helpful, close to city and beach, stayed several weeks while son in Wollongong hospital and have returned several times, convenient location if you don’t mind the age of the building. Worth it for the convenience.
