Pros:

Room was neat and tidy & staff were brilliant.

Cons:

Shower kept going from being the correct temp to burning hot and the ironi g board wouldn't stay up. Also a FYI the male toilet in the skyline needs to be look at ! The silver plate above the left urinal has screws protruding which can be a hazard. Will supply photos.

Pros:

Room was cleaned

Cons:

There was no information provided about the closing times for the restaurant, bar, or swimming pool, so I had to call reception to find out. It was also unclear which number to dial from the room to reach reception, so I ended up using my mobile phone to contact them.
There were no slippers in the room, and no complimentary water bottles provided, which was a bit disappointing.
The swimming pool experience was not great either. The spa seemed to have too much chemical added, and the strong smell made it uncomfortable to use. I only stayed in for about a minute before getting out.

Pros:

The bed was so comfortable that I actually slept in, which is a rarely happens for me.

I loved the idea of, if you don't have the cleaning staff come in and make your bed and clean up, you got a $10 dollar voucher each day you are there. They don't advertise this as an option, it was a awesome surprise. I think other motel accommodation should offer this as an option.

Thank you so so much to the reception, the in room service meals and delivery service of the staff and promptness of your meals were outstanding and offering a car service in the morning to get you to your destination, was a service we didn't expect. My only criticism would be if you know that guests have used this service, maybe see if they need the service to return.

Cons:

Only 1 thing I think you could improve on, it's only minor and that is a toilet brush and holder needs to be in the bathroom.

Good location if you have a car in Adelaide.
Pros:

Room was really light and overlooked the park. Close to the airport and with parking. They waived the $20 parking fee if you ate in the restaurant.

Cons:

Unfortunately there was a private event which made the restaurant and bar area very busy. No filtered water in the room and small bottles of water from the minibar charged a $6 each! The only thing we thought was expensive.

Great room and location!
Pros:

This was a last minute booking after a long flight back to Australia. The room was great as was dining.

Cons:

We weren't told about the breakfast deal on arrival, so didn't book only to find that the breakfast was very expensive without the deal so didn't bother.
