Easy
Pros:

Nice sized room. Compact but good for 1 person. Warm and looked at/toward park.

Cons:

Little road noise, but was ok. Bed very firm, not my type of bed, but suits some.

Easy
Pros:

Stayed numerous times before, so known location to get around and parking just around the street which made it easy

Cons:

Having to check out as a normal time, but no area to load car with luggage as the lane is used for morning and afternoon traffic and parking there would block traffic heading into city.

Only if you absolutely have to!
Pros:

Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom not very clean, loud, check in didn't work and couldn't enter room and no concierge to solve quickly and phone calls not answered for 20 minutes or so. Quite old and things not in good condition or broken, such a blinds, bathroom, carpets, etc.

Not worth the money! Be ware: false advertising!!
Pros:

The location was great, at walking distance from North Terrace where museums, state library and botanical gardens are. Rundle mall, supermarket and eateries are on the way.

Cons:

The room was nothing like what was advertised. Everything in it was very old and J st holding up. The desk and kitchen bench were cracked. The room was so small that here wasn't enough space for bedside tables; actually, the double bed was pushed against the wall and the door was immediately on the other side. There was no safety mechanism on the inside for the door. The walls were damaged.

Clean and comfortable rooms. A bit worn around the edges but is under new management and work is commencing. Would stay
Pros:

Property was close to bus and eateries

All the rooms are upstairs. Should have checked as they dont have a lift.
