Pros:

I arrived at 3pm on a Saturday & was very hungry. I asked the barmaid if the kitchen was closed. Was very suprised that they offer all day dining. Meal was delicious as was my coffee. Everyone from reception to bar staff were great.

Cons:

I liked everything.

We have stayed here for the past four Easter holidays and had a great experience each time.
Pros:

Great staff and excellent meals. Older style accommodation, but clean and roomy. Small bathroom but sufficient for our needs, with plenty of hot water in the shower. Great location for access to Novar Gardens Bowling and Pétanque Club & Glenelg

Cons:

All good. It would be good if the squeaky floorboards in room and passageway could be fixed

Fine but expensive for what it is
Pros:

The food at the restaurant was good, the room was clean and the bed comfortable.

Cons:

The location is super random next to a liquor store and gaming salon, the walls are paper thin in the rooms and the floor cracks a lot so you hear everything and everyone.
The place is fine in itself, but it’s basically just expensive for what you get. I would’ve been happy with the room if I had paid 20% less.

Nice hotel but a long way from the city.
Pros:

Staff were great ,wifi didnt work in my original room so an immediate swap was arranged .The in house restaurant is very good .

Cons:

My only issue with the hotel was the distance from Adelaide city and the unreliable public transport, I ended using the tram line which was a good 15 mins walk from the hotel.

I would stay again if the rooms were cleaner. I feel that the rooms are in need of a renovation soon
Pros:

The Pub and food down stairs was great.

Cons:

The room was quite dirty, dust and lint everywhere. I spent an hour cleaning before settling in. I was also above the music stage, which was fine, but it became annoying after 10pm as I couldn't sleep.
