Convenient and walking distance was great. Staff very friendly. Room and bathroom were clean but bathroom in need of updating. Paint flaking off the tiles and areas of breakage/mould. Facilities noisy on a night due to water pipes and other rooms air conditioning.

We flew in late so appreciated being able to collect a key to our room after hours & go straight to sleep in a comfortable bed. Clean and roomy, all we needed. Thanks.

We had one of the last rooms available - and as it was mad March in Adelaide, prices were high for the quality of the room, but it was still less than 1/2 what I would have had to pay at the Grand Hotel. Our room was old, with the minimum of facilities and a few things needing attention, but it was clean, check in efficient and the bed comfortable. I suspect some of the rooms are better than the one we had to have. Certainly worth staying for locality, ease of getting to Jetty Road / Marina Pier, if you can get it at a reasonable price and don't have too high expectations.
