Stayed at this motel. Great Prices and location, service was good. The room and bathroom look like they haven't had a refit since the 50's. Back rooms desperatley need an upgrade, @$85per night, what would you expect.

Although the Buffalo Motor Inn is an older style basic Motel, it is clean and comfortable in a convenient location for all Glenelg has to offer. Standard rooms are more dated with their decor and there is some obvious maintenance required. Reception staff friendly and helpful.

Stayed at the Buffalo motel for 6 nights in March with my son , his wife and young baby. We had the kitchen with 2 adjoining rooms. The decor was old and dated as mentioned before but what concerned me more was the state of the carpet. We may not have noticed how dirty it was had it not been... More

Checked into a family apartment with cooking facilities which was actually 2 rooms joined together and a small electric hot plate to cook on. The quality of the room and fittings were extremely old and in poor condition. The walls were at least five years overdue for a paint and the beds were so poor that it would have been... More

Stayed two nights prior to long weekend & as I arranged accommodation at short notice there was little available. Paid $180 for a spa room. Others have commented re the 70's decor, exactly right. The wall tiles under the basin where the down pipe leads into the main waste water system, had not been replaced so it was possible that... More

* Fantastic location, just a block from the beach, marina and shops * Clean and comfortable, but very basic * Rate includes car parking which is handy if you have a hire car * Standard rooms are exactly that - a reasonably comfortable bed, basic facilities but definitely not offensive in any way. You will need to request anything besides... More

We stayed here for three nights using it as a base to explore Adelaide. It is a 3 minute walk from the beach and the tram terminus that takes you into the City Centre. Great for a City break by the beach. Like most Aussie motels this was built in the 70s and it showing its age. The room we... More

Location was fantastic, service was good, but the room was average. We had a room which the a/c-heater was like a compressor running and dripped water all over the floor at the front door. When running, we had to turn the tv up which the remote only worked when it wanted to. The bed was so soft that my wife... More

I stayed at Buffalo for a week and found my stay truly enjoyable. Although I had chosen a standard room, I was impressed by the tasteful decoration and its cleanliness. Besides all the advantages of the location as mentioned by the earlier reviewers, I would like to particularly commend the staff who gave me a very warm welcome and were... More
