The room was fine and staff friendly enough but all the rooms facing the main road are affected by traffic noise which disturbed sleep and rest - so only book room facing the rear of the hotel.

Had another overnight stay here in a similar studio room. Bathroom was very nice and recently renovated. The room decor is a little dated but in good condition. We had tea/coffee making and a small microwave. The motel is about a 10 min walk into Shellharbour and about 15 min to its beach and public ocean pool. Reception closes at 8pm and we’d forgotten to organise a late check in but a call to the motel about 8:45 took care of this for us. Overall it’s a pretty nice place for a short budget stay.

Comfortable, budget stay

We have an overnight stay at this motel. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. Our bathroom was renovated and parking outside our ground floor room. The room was spacious and reception friendly and helpful. It offers room service and has a pool and tennis court (which we didn’t use). Overall a pleasant stay.

This room was not worth the nearly $200 we paid for it. It’s very dated, bed was hard, pillows very flat, the shower screen was broken and replaced with a curtain and the air conditioner was in a corner behind a cupboard so it didn’t really serve the purpose from where it was. We go to Wollongong often but won’t return here again
