Very noisy and not the best condition. Clean towels but the room overall not the best. I suppose for the money some would consider it not bad. I will pay a bit extra next visit to Adelaide and stay in a quite and cleaner environment.

The place is a bit tired. Half of the TV channels and weren't available, a bit sad in Adelaide. There were gaps in the door that when someone was smoking outside, the smell came into our room. Needs a reno

Very basic and aging

Basic aging rooms with many fixtures missing and lights fittings without globes. It’s clear that these guys are happy to take bookings and money without fixing or upgrading rooms. Unkept lawns and pool area and generally very sloppy maintenance. Good place to stay when there’s nothing else available

Toilet ran all night, ironing board totally unusable, everything run down which in these times is not necessary, more of a truck stop than a tourist motel.
