Average rooms but good location staff lovely.
Pros:

Location and onsite parking

Cons:

Rooms are looking tired , shower pressure went up and down alternating the temperature . TV reception hit and miss.
Stairs into the property difficult, then stairs to my room but staff did help when booking in. But no help leaving. Left with a sore shoulder.

Loved the hotel
Pros:

Excellent location in North Adelaide. Large, quiet room with cumfy bed. General ambience was lovely. Staff were helpful and having a provate area pool and spa was a big plus.

Cons:

The breakfast, while cheap, wasn't very good. The upper floor (there are only 2 floors) is access through a large staircase. There are no lifts. So if you have large bags or mobility issues, as for a ground floor room, or find another hotel.
