    Only received a towel each would be great if got a hand towel and face washer (as do with every other place I have stayed at)

    Room was clean neat and tidy. Had microwave and toaster if you like something easy to heat up or toast. Lovely size shower and NO shower curtain . Fridge was nice and cold. Good for a few nights stay.

    I arrived to a difficult situation f my 94 year old mother not being well cared for in aged care.I had one week to sort it out. On the 3rd day I got Covid, probably from the plane. I had to stay in my room and didn't fell well enough to go ahead with complaints. Once I said I had Coughing vid they were so helpful. I will always stay there in Adelaide.

    I thought the room was adequate but the towels need upgrading & there wasn’t a hand towel or face washer. The fridge wasn’t working properly but thankfully we had our cooler bag. No real major issues.

    Location was good for what we wanted to do. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was plentiful

    Signage could be a little brighter. Room didn't have a service directory in it which states what motel offers ...eg light breakfast. Could have bickies with tea and coffee and bottled water in fridge

    Bed was sooo comfortable. Lovely clean double size shower with easy to use taps. Nice and quiet even for central city location

    We didn't have anything to criticise

    The motel is close to the city on a very busy road but very quiet. We didn't hear any traffic noise The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. This is our third stay and we will continue to patronise this motel. I would be happy to recommend it to friends. The $149/night was very reasonable for 2 adults.

    Found the door very difficult to open as the key wouldn’t turn at first and was very stiff after staff sprayed the hole. We also really could have used a second key as we had 3 adults in the room & I returned earlier than they did and I had to be woken up to let them in when they got back.

    Easy to find. Friendly staff. Easy to book. Close to public transport.

    The shower needs some maintenance. Water squirts everywhere and the cold water tap doesn't turn properly. Water exremely hot. But otherwise very happy with everything.

    Manager was really nice and looked so well after me since our car broke down. Thanks again!

    Shower was clogged and the bed rolled around a bit making it hard to sit up in bed. The TV struggled to have reception which is weird being in the city but was a great stay and we were comfortable

    Fantastic Location rooms were a decent size and the host was welcoming. The bed was comfortable but you have to be careful as it likes to roll around on you a bit but is still nice the shower must of been a bit clogged as there was enough water to cover our feet in the shower but besides that it was a great stay

    The soap holder in the bathroom is broken, so I had to be careful and might have a cut or broken skin . Myself, when having a bath accident could happen at any time if in case you might have a fall or you're leaning towards the tiles where the soap was located.. This is just my opinion. Need the carpet vacuum thoroughly and might apply carpet deodoriser. Once the guest left after staying, let the door open for at least half an hour to let the smell from the previous guest get out from the room.

    I like the comfy bed. I slept like a baby. Not too noisy. I felt safe and secured. The host Harry is friendly and accommodating. Can't complain. I'm happy the way I stayed there. It's a short visit but I enjoyed it, next time might stay longer.
