    They need to buy new mattresses, ours had a big dip in the middle across ways.

    Good place, easy to get to, everything close by.

    Small rooms, but not much of an issue if it's just for one night

    Good price for an overnight stay

    More information about Cafe Primo operating hours as above noted

    The breakfast was quite acceptable The main issue your website informed meals 7 days a week upon my arrival I was informed that cafe primo was not open on Monday and Tuesdays which in my situation as my transport was a very large & overdimsional heavy crane and was not a vehicle to be driven around Whyalla at night looking for somewhere to purchase food for dinner I feel you should place information on your web page that the restaurant is not open on those days.

    It was upstairs and we had to walk through the whole hotel with our luggage. Hard work! There was a service lift, but only for staff. Restaurant was closed.

    Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and roomy.

    It was a single room, it was adequate, but really quite small. The fridge appeared to be working when I arrived, however, when I checked later it had stopped & the ice was melting. There was no one around in the morning to tell.

    I was able to park on the street outside the hotel.The The restaurant on site served an adequate meal, and staff were friendly. The room was clean and tidy, and there were breakfast cereals etc in the room.

    I was just above the main engine room of the hotel, so it was noisy 24/7. I got used to it quite fast though.

    Pleasantly surprised, I booked a single room and expected a very basic budget room. It was very well appointed, clean and comfortable, with ensuite and all you would need for a pleasant stay.

    too many doors and not enough signage to say where to go for reception, also staff advised not to smoke in the rooms however when I went to close the windows there where several used cigarettes in the window slides, also the curtains were rather dirty and the air conditioner was covered in dust! the bed was also half a meter from the wall!

    was good to have somewhere to stay after driving all day!

    There's nothing I didn't like. Given the very inclement weather, under cover parking would have been great, but again I knew that it was not available.

    The in-room breakfast was only just adequate. Would have preferred a dining room hotel breakfast, but I knew at booking that this wasn't available. Enjoyed the shower!

    Was worried that we could set off the alarm from steam in the shower and be fined for it.

    The noise of the fan or something outside. It kept going. I think that was the A/C or idk. I didn’t use any.

    Small single bed room was good but the only problem was the noise from idk what’s outside of the window. It kept going.

    Liked supply of water bottles, breakfast and milk. Lounge for TV was good to have. Beds were comfy.

    There was nothing I didn't like. I can't rate the restaurant or other services as I didn't get to use these. The room had a good bathroom and very comfortable bed.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. A good nights sleep is the most important thing for me and the bed was very comfortable. So the most important criteria was excellent.

    No internet

    So clean and well presented. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The staff were really helpful and friendly. And the night of the day I left I found I had lost my fitbit charging cord and it was most likely in the room. I emailed the hotel, and by next morning I had a response saying it was found and would be waiting for me when I pass back through Whyalla in a week. That was a great relief.

    Initially I was in a room with a compressor outside the window so I didn’t get enough sleep. I asked to be moved and they couldn’t help enough.and there’s no way to open a window for fresh air.

    The breakfast was cereal only. I can’t eat cereal so I can’t comment.
