I absolutely loved the Adelaide Rockford Hotel.
Pros:

Adelaide Rockford Hotel was a lovely place to stay. The staff were friendly, helpful and looked after me during my stay wonderfully. I had a very enjoyable stay. My room was very clean, bed was super comfy and I loved the spa bath, specially after long days. The food was lovely. A lot of choices for breakfast each morning. One staff member made my stay absolute fantastic, Avril at reception was so helpful and kind, made me feel so relaxed. I couldn't thank her enough.

Cons:

The menu for bar/restaurant didn't have a lot of choices. Though the meal I did have was wonderful.

Very disappointing defently not 4 star
Pros:

Hard to say
Nothing stood out
Breakfast was ok but could have been better there was no cold meats or cheese
The kitchen staff amd room service staff were very friendly

Cons:

The parking facilities
Rude male employee gave us a slip of paper to scan as we had paid and it didn't work, we had to park at the Wilson car park, and pay there. There were young lads had their car broken into so its not very safe
We booked through booking.com and it said we got an upgrade to king suite, the room the rude guy gave us had 2 single beds!
There was only 2 bottles of water for two people for two nights, bit stingy, they charge if you ask for more
No gym or pool on site, you find out after you book on booking.com that the roof top is closed
There was no biscuits with the tea and coffee, we get them in a basic motel.
This hotel is not worthy of a 4 star
The door into the bathroom was very noisy

Great hotel location and breakfast.
Pros:

Great price , location, staff, bar facilities and rooms

Cons:

Currently having renovations, however noise from that was very controlled( no noise before 10pm and nothing after 4pm).

Noise from the building site across the road can be an issue if pouring slab at night.
