Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Many guests report rooms as clean and spacious, but several strong negatives (filthy spa, stained/tawdry towels, chipped/broken furniture) lower the score to mixed cleanliness overall.
Service
8.9
Staff repeatedly described as warm, friendly and helpful; front desk recognised repeat guests and management attempted to resolve issues, giving service an above-average rating.
Location
9.3
Consistently praised — convenient for the city, close to Adelaide Oval and airport, good access to restaurants and public transport; location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.4
Mixed reports: many rooms are comfortable, spacious and recently furnished, but recurring problems noted (split king beds/two single mattresses, flat pillows, weak showers, occasional broken furniture and heater issues).
Amenities
8
Onsite gated parking and pleasant toiletries are positives; however spa cleanliness, older fridges and some dated bathroom fixtures/adapters were criticised, producing a moderate amenities score.
Value for Money
8.2
Most guests found the hotel reasonably priced and good value for location and facilities, though a few strong complaints noted poor value or booking/payment issues.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Food receives generally positive mention (notably a praised Sri Lankan restaurant), but some guests experienced unavailable mains or limited options — overall slightly above average.
Overall Experience
8.9
Overall stays are positive due to location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff; negative incidents (cleanliness/facility faults, parking squeeze) reduce consistency but do not dominate guests' general impression.

Over all very good, but disappointed of Restaurant lack of staffing.
Pros:

The over all property, location, carpark facilities and staff service was very good and accessible for our needs.

Cons:

Unfortunately the down stairs restaurant was lacking enough staff service to filate meals on time.

Yet they supply very good variaty meals to eat.

Breakfast was not available, due to restaurant closure on Monday 24/08/ 26 morning of our departure.

We are still waiting for breakfast refund as well.

Horrible, poor quality food and rooms left unattended and unclean during my 3 night stay.
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

Food in attached restaurant not fit for human consumption and made me ill. Stayed 3 days room not cleaned at all during the stay no fresh towels, bed left unmade and when I asked for some towels staff forgot to bring them up. Used to stay here frequently a few years back when rooms were always cleaned and beds made with fresh towels every day, we would eat at the restaurant breakfast and dinner and it was superb along with the coffee. I will never stay here again horrible experience 👎
