Sage Hotel Wollongong
The hotel is situated in a very convenient area, it's very nicely maintained, room was immaculate, breakfast buffet was really good too. But the main reference point for my excellent stay were the front desk staff, they were really helpful and super accommodating. I will definitely be staying there ...
