Buyer beware. Our room was water damaged from a storm, wet carpet, wet mattress, wet sheets and the stench was appalling. Due to festival no alternate accommodation was available in Berry, Kiama, Wollongong. We braved it for 1 night and cancelled our second night as the room was uninhabitable. Despite promising a refund, they later said the terms and conditions stated refunds were not an option, even though the room was uninhabitable and not fit for purpose. Noone responds to emails or phone calls despite saying they will. Bathrooms were dirty, no hand wash sinks, showers are a health hazard, bar and food service were chaotic and the pub is extremely poorly managed. You have been warned.

The room is not clean and it stinks. Floor is creaking. There is 'one single' shower room, wash basin and a toilet for 2 floors of guests. Wouldn't even recommend this hotel to people who are looking for the cheapest of the options. It's not worth the cheap price.

We arrived beyond our checkin time, roughly 5ish. Staff made me wait 15 mins so they could obtain room key. I had to remind them I was waiting. I was informed that our room had not been cleaned due to the late check out. I think the people who supposedly checked out kate were still occupying the room. When entering, the room it smelt bad. Plates in sink , no toilet paper . Pubic hair bathroom sink . Holes in walls . No flat sheets . It was a horrible sight .
