Disliked: Cleanliness
Handy location
The customer service was amazing, the apartment we had was very tired and needs some TLC the rooms are quite hot and you will need to sleep with balcony doors open to keep cool. Some of the cups and cutlery were still dirty but nothing a quick wash would fix. It was a quick short break for my family and overall I prob would not stay again.

Traveled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Apart from a good sized apartment, this property is a detriment to Accor hotels: a brand and loyalty killer. Cleanliness is awful and you get the dirty feel from the moment you arrive, park your car & walk the hallway. The expectation is already set and upon entering the room, that expectation becomes reality - paint peeling on window ledges, mould on window ledges, mouldy shower tiles, soap scum on shower tiles, cobwebs galore, heavily stained furniture, moisture damaged vanity laminate, stained carpets, stained walls. Hold every glass up to the light and you’ll see nothing clean and possibly the previous guests lipstick stains (like we did). I’d be embarrassed if I were the Hotel Manager and this was the product I was selling. Stay elsewhere in Wollongong, won’t be hard to find better.
