Top hotels in Clifton
Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
Cannot fault the staff nor the cleanliness. However at every turn there is an extra charge on top of the room fee...parking, tea, fresh towels, a lemon slice. And buffet breakfast was not worth $42 per person. Absolute wrought by management and the Accor group.
