Room was ok but run down but if you want a sleep in this place may not be for you with the construction going on next door with the big machinery breaking rock

Adina Apartment Hotel Wollongong
Overall great stay and in a convenient location near some amazing restaurants and the beach. Staff were lovely and helpful. Carpet was dirty as I had a toddler running everywhere and lying on the floor and could see the dust and dirt stain her skin. Air con temp was hard to manage - felt too hot ...
