Clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms.
Visitors reported that the rooms were spotlessly clean, generously-sized, and comfortable. The accommodations were said to be nicely updated with good modern décor, and those who booked the spa suites felt that the large whirlpool tub was worth the upgrade.
positive:
Convenient location in southern Adelaide.
The hotel is conveniently situated close to many attractions but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Guests stated that the local beaches, the city centre, and the Westfield Marion shopping complex are just a few minutes away.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Food is overpriced and merely average.
The food served at the hotel restaurant and bar did not live up to the expectations of guests who stated that the meals were rather average and lacking in variety. Many also felt that the food was overpriced for casual fare.
negative:
Odd shower design creates messes.
While the bathrooms were said to be nice, the showers left something to be desired. Visitors reported that the odd design lacks a proper shower door, causing water to go everywhere and create a messy and slippery bathroom floor.
negative:
Rooms are poorly sound-proofed.
Although the area was said to be fairly quiet, a number of reviewers said that the other tenants were not. People noticed bothersome noise from the car park late at night and into the early morning hours, and others stated that the rooms' thin walls do little to muffle noise from other guests.
