We will come again when visiting Adelaide.
Pros:

Food was excellent and value for money - both breakfast and dinner.

Cons:

There is small step entering the bathroom which I stubbed my toe on which caused a minor injury. Does not detract from from this review.

Fantastic value for a modern and clean stay
Pros:

Great location and great value price for what was a beautiful and clean venue

Cons:

Our only complaint was the bed was soft and pillows were too hard. Maybe another room would have been the opposite so the only reason it’s not a perfect score otherwise we are very happy and will stay again to try another room

Comfortable, relaxed vibe in nice location
Pros:

The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location across the road from the park makes a nice view, if you're on that side of the building. The bar & restaurant downstairs also had a nice vibe, there were always people in them having a nice time.

Cons:

It looks a bit dated from the outside but it's much nicer than you expect.

Beds were comfy, rooms were cosy. Customer service was average.
Pros:

Was a struggle to get my room cleaned. Called reception a few times about different things. They could have been more helpful and friendly.
When i complained that my room hadn't been cleaned for the 2nd day in a row I was told i was given a $10 voucher on my account for the inconvenience- it wasn't applied to my final bill

Cons:

Customer service wasn't the best and the room cleaning
