Reviews and Ratings
The service lacks provisions for food intolerance and has an awkward bath to shower setup. However, the staff are helpful and credit card payment is accepted. The location is on a loud main road but still convenient for city access. Dining options are outdated and limited. Facilities are basic with no standout features.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Adelaide Recreation Centre and offers spacious rooms with required comforts. While the room was a bit cluttered and not very clean, it met my requirements. The service was subpar, with unattended reception and unfriendly staff at check-in. The location was good for my work needs but loud due to being on a main road. The dining experience was mediocre with bland food, and the facilities were average.
Our stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was not noise-proof and had some issues like a hole in the wall and mold in the shower, the staff was very friendly and the food was enjoyable. However, we decided to leave a night early due to the room condition, and it's unlikely we will return.
