Unbeatable location - very good value for money!
Brilliant location, comfy beds. It was a great price for beachside accomodation in a gorgeous area of Adelaide, so its not perfect of course. We enjoyed our stay very much!

One night stopover
Our room was a bit dated but honestly it was great for the price (& we were told by the friendly staff that the hotel
accommodation is being upgraded soon). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. We also enjoyed our meal in the bistro.
