this was a great spot to stop to put our heads down for the night. Whilst very worn looking, the beds were comfy and everything was clean. Updating the bathrooms and a little TLC would help but then they would rightly charge more. A good spot for us after a day in the Hills, dinner/walk in Glenelg and next day exploring in Adelaide central before heading to airport. Everything in good proximity.

It's in a great spot having shops, dining, public transport and the beach in easy walking distance. We were given room 8, which is downstairs with the outside brick staircase right in front of the window. The room, although clean, was quite old and tired looking and in major need of structural and decor updates. The beds were clean and comfortable and I'd say the most updated looking thing in the entire room. The tv was tiny and only some of the buttons on the remote worked, Foxtel is advertised as a feature but doesn't work. The bar fridge is from the 1980's and was ajar when we arrived. UHT milk is provided, although one packet had what looked like a finger hole poked into it. The bathroom. Oh the bathroom. It hasn't been touched since it was installed in the 70's. Shower over bath with shower curtain. Water damage and rust marks on the walls, the vanity was all chipped along the bottom. The toilet paper dispenser looked like it'd be more at home in a public toilet. Only one towel and two "conditioning shampoo" sachets provided for 3 people. No floor mat, hand towel or facewashers. In short, it was clean and the beds comfortable and probably would suffice for an overnight stay, any more than that and it would be a struggle.
