Stayed one night in a spa room. The room was clean and with a little sprucing up could really have the wow factor. The vines over the entrance and car park really make a good first impression. We had dinner in the restaurant and this is where the hotel really shines. They have one of the best staff members. Clare went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience albeit the chef being a little moody. To our surprise both of these staff members were once again on duty for buffet breakfast the next morning and both made our stay memorable. The food was good but Clare you are an asset. We left saying "we'll be back". Please, please though get some new pillows. The ones you have are like sleeping on a rock.

I chose this Choice Group hotel because I was looking for a 3-4 star hotel not too far from the centre of Adelaide with free parking and not too expensive. It fulfilled all these requirements very well and was good value, especially as I was upgraded to a spa suite due to a mix up with my original booking. It is probably closer to a 3* than a 4* though. My eventual room was very large and clean, with all the usual amenities (TV, fridge, mini-bar, coffee/tea, good A/C etc), not to mention the built-in spa bath. As others have said, the decor is generally very dated and the furnishings, paintwork, carpets etc could do with an upgrade. I started in a "Business Room" which was rather dingy and smelt of smoke, but was moved immediately when I mentioned this and was given free drinks vouchers. A small, but nice pool area and breakfast was good. The best thing about the hotel was the staff, who were all exceptionally friendly and helpful, from the time of check-in throughout. They could not have done more to rectify the initial problems I had and I would definitely stay there again for this reason alone. The hotel is about 30 minutes walk to Rundle Street and the other central attractions, but being on the main Ring Road round the centre, it's even more convenient for getting around and/or out of Adelaide, or to the airport if you have a car. There are also many excellent cafes and restaurants in nearby Hutt St on the direct walk into town.

We stayed in a spa-room. The spa was fantastic, the room was quite small and old-style. The pool is unheated which is a bit of a down point seeing as though winters in Adelaide are freezing, but the sauna was lovely. Now the high point of the whole stay was the buffet breakfast. Although pricey, $22, it was amazing! Also there's free parking.

The staff were lovely but our corner of the building had a strong stench of mould and mildew - I imagine they had some recent flooding. The room was nice and good value. Breakfast was one of the best I have had. We walked into the city which took probably 30-40 mins.
