The Motel was ideally located for me. I travelled into Adelaide to the veterans hospital then dropped off my motorcycle for servicing. Thus the motel was ideally located for me for an overnight stay. Staff where very friendly and transport back into the city was close at hand the next day for pick of my motorcycle for the long trip home.

I had no issues with the motel. Everything I needed was readily at hand including places for food. Possibly the only thing I didn't like the motel couldn't fix and that was the low pressure cell that came through during the night with high winds and heavy rain.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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)

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.

We didn't have anything to criticise

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

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

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

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 get to, cheap yet good and clean

couldn’t get a hand towel and was told we don’t give them out. we were only provided with two bath towels and a shower mat. there was no towel to dry your hands with once using the toilet. power plug in bathroom needs addressing. half coming off and could be an electrical issue for someone
