Don’t stay here
Pros:

Check in person was friendly

Cons:

So noisy. Air conditioner was very rattly and noisy
Outside was fridge unit or something similar that had a motor that went on and off all night. It was very loud. Very hard to sleep with noises inside tiny room and out. No fan so had to use aircon

Awful, will never stay here again
Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

My door shut my mistake, it had a code I forget and there was none to help me and I had to brake the door to get in, I tried the number countless times with no answer, with a place that doesn’t have keys this is horrible

Pros:

The pub area looked ok.

Cons:

The hotel room allocated was old and grubby to the point we did not want to touch anything or sleep in the beds! The hotel is located in an industrial area so quite isolated, and we were concerned about the security of our car and contents in the carpark overnight. So we decided to go elsewhere and lose the payment we had just made. I explained our concerns to the bar person who said she would get the manager to speak to me, and disappeared. After waiting for a while, no-one came to see me so I handed in the key and left. We found a very nice cabin at the Whyalla Foreshore Caravan Park. Note, you cannot get a breakfast at the hotel, only dinner.

Clean, comfortable and very quiet with excellent staff to help out.
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast there. The location was very good for us as we were visiting our son only a few streets away and as he is only moving in, room was scarce, we really just needed a bed.

Cons:

A couple of bed lamps would have been great, my 'sleeping tablet' is my book and to have to get out of bed again to turn off the light was a bit inconvenient. Wasn't a fan of the street parking, and the parking area although off street was not fenced in. Not knowing the area, was a little wary, but fortunately no incidents. Also, if elderly and have trouble with stairs, there are three sets to get up to the rooms, a lift would be handy.

Cheap and ok for a night if you’re not too fussy.
Pros:

Location, friendly staff throughout our stay and delicious food from the restaurant.

Cons:

Rooms and facilities are old and very tired. The crockery was dirty so had to wash before use, shower was grubby. Had to plug kettle into the only socket we could kind by the bed (kettle on bedside cabinet).
