    Good Location but had some issues with apartment…
    3 / 5
    The apartment lived up to its title of "spacious" and "central" to Wollongong CBD and south beach. Our experience was lessened by a few issues that left us wondering whether we might have been better to stay at the Mantra down the road where at least we could call a concierge for help. Firstly, although we received instructions for accessing the apartment, they were less than clear and had to ask resident for help with some issues. The process of obtaining the key was unduly complicated and not entirely clear from the instructions provided. There were 2 gates to negotiate in order to park the car in the underground carpark with the process for accessing the 2nd gate not clear to us until we asked someone. All up we found that "checking in" and leaving the apartment involved a fairly stressful series of steps. Once we accessed the apartment we were disappointed to find that the rooms were hot after a summer's day with the blinds open to the west. The apartment information said that it was air conditioned but we found it only so in the living area and not the bedrooms which had casement type windows that could only be opened 5 cms or so. Noise from the street below was also an issue early in the morning and at night due to the proximity to places such as the performing arts centre and a new apartment block being built 100 metres away. We wanted an apartment with a bath but searched high and low for a plug without success. Our stay would have been better without these issues …
