3.2 star rating? That’s a far stretch. A friend and I stayed here on April 22nd 2023. Paying guests should expect a clean premise at the least and it was far from that. We had the “deluxe spa room” which we didn’t use due to the grubbiness of the room. On entry the room smelt like cigarettes. The curtain was hanging off the rod. The air conditioner had no filter. The floor wasn’t vacuumed (there was an empty sugar packet left on the floor). Stains on the carpets and walls. Unwashed coffee mug (dry coffee on the mug from previous guest, yuck). The sink in the bathroom was dirty. You would think for a freshly tiled bathroom and new spa bath you would take some pride and keep it clean. New bathroom going down hill pretty quickly. We paid good money for this room. Management really need to actually read their own reviews and have some pride in their accommodation. Disgusting and unhygienic, save your money and don’t bother. Will never be returning.

Room was not as described Room smelt of smoke when we went home we could still smell old smoke on our clothes 🤮 and we had a 3 month old baby with us. No power points worked including tv, spa, microwave etc Tried contacting them won’t return emails or calls. We were told by a worker we would get a refund but never got a thing back

Bad experience, worst motel, old and not renovated, the room was smelling, didnt even provide water. Swimming pool is not maintained, please dont go by the photos. Will not recommend for anyone or family big noo.

One of the worst places that I have ever stayed in. There were cracked dirty sinks in the bathroom, the shower cubicle was full of rust and dirt, the windows were filthy dirty and there was dust all along the edges. Under the bed was dirty, and the place was obviously not cleaned from the previous guest as I found a gentleman's wallet under the bed. There also sweet wrappers under the bed.

We recently just had a very enjoyable stay here in 109, the rooms are great for the budget price and very enjoyable, but the mattresses aren't great in the family room and probably needed an upgrade as hard and thin but that was the only thing we struggled with. Everything else was as expected, the carpet was clean (unlike our previous stay that had attrocious service and not clean, the days before, in a filthy place that cost more) so we arrived hesitant but was very quickly impressed. The pool was huge, clean and kids loved it. The service was fantastic, very accommodating, and showers were so hot and had pressure it was amazing. Thankyou!

We had a comfortable stay. The room was okay but the bed was great and the shower excellent. The towels were excellent too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was good, short walk to plenty of places to eat.

Unfortunately our “deluxe” room was nothing like the internet photos. On entering, the musty smell hit us in the face. Where do I start? Ummmm I know it’s budget but still I paid good money. The tiled living area floor was dirty and the bed was very uncomfortable with just one pillow - asked reception for one more pillow as I like to sleep with two but was told no spare pillows (no sorry no apologies). The walls had marks, holes (with tape over) and just looked dirty. The air cond looked very old and was noisy and rattled - no maintenance as looked dirty and no flaps on it. The tiles in the bathroom and shower looked dirty/mould in grouting was black. The tap mixer had no cold or hot settings - just warm water so cleaned teeth with warm water. The first sleep overnight was terrible, my neck ached and I’d never had that before but was from the uncomfortably hard bed and my one pillow! There were lights from cars shining through the window at all hours of the night as well as noises from people outside/above us (we were on ground floor) and traffic on road - I didn’t sleep at all! No allocated parking so my car wasn’t near my room but did have someone else’s car in front of my window. The first morning the toilet was not just leaking water but water was gushing out of the cistern lid?! It wasn’t long before the bathroom floor was all wet - there was no mop or anything to mop up the water and reception staff were of no help whatsoever- was told there’s no maintenance guy today (it was a Saturday) and nothing else said - I literally had to ask for a towel to mop up the water myself!? No apology nothing? She gave me one towel?! Consequently we moved out into another motel and had to ask for a refund for the other 2 nights that we weren’t now staying - she tried to say we already hadn’t paid when we had in fact paid up front (as all accommodation motels etc make you do now). We had to show her our printed out receipt from the day before?! She eventually refunded our money for the days we weren’t staying (not the one night we had stayed). Never ever ever will we return to this place! Please beware it looks nothing like the website photos?!

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. The room was not clean and stank so badly of cigarette smoke. I’m normally not too fussy about hotels if I’m just staying there one night as it’s just a bed for the night, therefore I just booked the cheapest this time. I will never book here again though! I woke up with the sorest throat from the smell. I’m not sure how a place so dirty has not been shut down yet. Absolutely disgusting. Staff at reception were nice and all, but this doesn’t excuse how gross the room was.

Reception staff not overly helpful. Unable to receive a receipt for my record. $50 key security deposit! The rooms require some maintenance. Bed was too low, and mattress may need replacement, as it was not comfortable.

Black mould on all surfaces in the bathroom. Queen bed had double sized sheets and quilt on it. Room smelled bad and did not look or feel clean. It's been four days and they haven't refunded the deposit after numerous calls confirming they would refund.

DO NOT GO HERE! not only will the room be an absolute mess and not up to minimum sanitary standards, you will be in contact with them the next following 4 days should they have "exceeded refund limit" for your security deposit only to keep hearing the same excuse day in and out....

Both rooms we booked were old and dirty. There was human hair on the pillow when we checked in and the cleaners didn't understand english. The matress was very uncomfortable and the parking spots we had reserved weren't available. Last minute booking so availability was limited but we're never booking here ever again.

The average type room, but the shower was good. Easy access to the main highway . 5 minutes and we were out of Adelaide.

Never judge a book by its cover. This is an old motel. Looks like something out of a cheap 60s horror flick. But the rooms have had makeovers inside. Modern bathrooms and cabinets. Good air conditioning. Few rough edges but good for the money.

Room was nothing like the images. Site images show clean facilities. Room was far from clean. Bed and pillows had hair on them before we had even used them. Dirty black hand prints on wall above bed still visible. Room smelt offensively. Mould on shower and bathroom floor and mould on fridge door. Parking poor, unable to park outside room, parking made worse by four trolleys of sheets left out getting wet in the rain overnight. Air conditioner had no filter and no vents/blades in it meaning the dust and debris blew straight out into the room so was unable to use it. Chewing gum on wall beside bed. Ants on shelving in room.

I never give reviews, or certainly not bad reviews. But this place is truly attrocious. Not only did the bed smell, but they also stole one of my devices (chromecast), although I called up just hours after leaving (before next people are even allowed in). Especially bad, because I knew exactly 100% where it was. I left it plugged in and forgot about it simply because their WiFi was locked down, and doesn't allow any form of streaming to chromecasts. So therefore because I couldn't use it, I forgot ahout it when packing as I didn't get to use it. You can set it up, but not mirror phone, or mirror any application movies/TV shows, and I tried many. Absolutely horrible, and I will be sure to never stay again Certainly do not recommend if wanting to, have good service, keep your belongings from being stolen, be sleeping in a room with good hygiene/cleaning, and being able to freely watch a movie on your 1 day away in a year Edit: Also forgot to mention. The shower overflows due to the drainage not flowing correctly. So after 2 quick showers, the whole bathroom floor was soaking wet. And there's no drains outside in the bathroom. Closest is next to the spa. Or if course obviously the shower

Disappointed with room. Looked great on photos but overall pretty dirty room with stains on carpets and itchy after using beds. Bathroom door wouldn’t slide waking kids up every time. Pool closed. On a positive great water pressure in showers.

Good price... nice... and clean good enough for stay getaway short-long weekend..!

Very dirty room, clearly hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. The shower head was disgusting and useless, the blankets were so stained and old, there were cockroaches everywhere outside the front door and in the carpark. The pool is right outside the restaurant windows so there’s no privacy. And you can hear everyone else staying there. Not worth the money just because there’s a pool and certainly don’t bother with the breakfast!

Put the fan on and it leaked into the carpet had to put a cup under it looked at the heating/cooling system and it had black mold in it, the bed dipped in the middle I now have a VERY sore back! REFUSED TO REFUND US OUR MONEY BACK WE ONLY STAYED 1 NOGHT BUT PAID FOR 2!!

First thing on the list is they need to update there photos as the room looked nothing like it apart from the pool and spa. They didn’t have anything on there website about a $50 refundable deposit. Which we should hopefully get back after 2pm. We paid $145 for one night for the deluxe queen spa with breakfast included. which was frozen bread, muesli bar, milk, juice, and little bags of cereal. The only deluxe thing was the spa itself. The exhaust fans made horrible sounds. The queen room came one bedside table a double bed and single bed with the thinnest bedding ever pillows felt like the cheap $5 Kmart ones my partner said the bedding smelt of cigarettes. Personally as a pregnant woman the pool should have a safety Rail going down the tiled step and there should be a safety rail to get out of the spa. If we had of known that’s what the “Deluxe” suit was we would have just got a Standard Spa room for cheaper without the breakfast included. Probably wouldn’t go back

Utterly atrocious! My parents and my children just wanted a staycation with a pool so they could swim and they were met with dissappointment. Room was booked 2 days prior and upon arrival the key was given but they got to the room and it wasnt cleaned from previous guests. Upon speaking to reception they were given a sub standed disgusting room that was filthy and told that the care taker had already done her alloted 10 rooms today so the original room wouldnt be ready till tomorrow. They were given a $15 discount. I get it, you get what you pay for, but it wasnt cheap. They left and I found them another hotel and got a much better deal.

No stars what a whole wasn't what we expected. We had the deluxe spa room the room and spa was so dirty, I had to go buy cleaning products to clean the spa etc. They said open at 8am to get refund back. No refund they don't open or answer calls. This joint looks like a place in the movies where you go to get murdered or a brothel.

I was very skeptical about staying here after reading all the negative reviews, but was pleasantly surprised, comfy bed clean neat room no cigarette smell, receptionist when above and beyond to help me after accidentally booking the wrong dates. I will be back again 😊

Stayed here quite a few times in the last few years and it was always so nice and clean but it seems to have went downhill since. Receptionist was nice and friendly, easy locating the room i stayed it, was ok on entry but upon further inspection i found the room to be quite unhygienic and unclean. It looked like it just had a quick once wipe over no effort in the actual cleaning part of it. Had to go shopping to get cleaning supplies otherwise i wouldnt have been able to stay in the room. Cleaned all surfaces including the spa and the cloths i used turned black with grime and dirt, also cleaned spa and water turned murky and dirty only after running the spa for 5 minutes. Didnt take many photos as i just drove 6 hours and just wanted to relax.

Reception was lovely and friendly. The room which was the Delixe Queen Spa Room was filthy and disappointing. Will have to clean the spa to use it. The bathroom is modern, but not good enough for $146, the price includes breakfast which is 4 slices of frozen white bread, 3 milks, muesli bar , 3 fruit boxes and some jam. We couldn't open the curtains because there's no privacy. Won't stay again.

Beware, this motel is not fit to allow people to stay. The room obviously had smokers in it and even though sign said no smoking nothing had been done to this, also smell of mould strong, if you are an asthmatic definitely find somewhere else to stay. No globe in some lights, taps in bathroom won’t turn off so running water, room not cleaned very well. When asked to see menu for dinner was given one that was so dirty it was only fit for the rubbish bin, never should have been given to a customer in such filthy condition. Again find other accommodation. Needs to be checked out by an appropriate authority re hygienic practices.

Great size rooms. Beds are very comfortable. Daily cleaning. Pool is fantastic. Staff are accommodating and extremely helpful

Absolutely cannot understand how could this motel accomplish such a hight rating. First of all our bathroom was not washed properly, smelled as a urine a toilet seat was still sticky, bathroom had mould and whole room smelled quite bad. Whole equipment was really old and worn. Room was extremely claustrophobic and according to lady who lived next to us, we had a luxurious version of what she has had in her bedroom (apparently broken shelves in a fridge, AC didn't work properly, terribly smelling carpet etc.. I was also missing a bit of basic kitchen equipment e.g. cutlery or plates. Microwave and toaster were there, but unfortunately nothing to make your dining a bit civilized. Positives - after we came to complain about dirty bathroom, reception staff (very kind) changed our room for a bigger one (for 3 people)and with better AC and a bit better looking, but still missing plates and cutlery. This room would deserve 2 stars if the motel was normally giving this "delux" version of the room we have gotten to everyone(understand normal size and ok standard). Overall experience was eventually okish just because of the exchanged room, if we had stayed in the original place, I would have asked for money refund and find another motel. So if you are considering booking a room in this motel, fingers crossed.

Pictures on their website look better than reality. People screaming at each other last night and people yelling and screaming at each other and doing bombs at the pool. Pretty sad place if you ask me. Bed up against the wall and rather shabby joint.

Not clean, a lot of foot traffic. Average for $95 per night. Fridge and air-cond were very noisy. Missing bed sheets just a quilt, pillows and blanket. Strong smell of cheap aftershave and bleach.

You get what you pay for. Location of rooms made it very noisy, so sleep was minimal. A crack in the wall, broken kettle and stained carpet. Staff were very friendly and acknowledged these issues.

Have stayed there a few times comfortable and clean

I stayed here with my partner on Saturday night. It was quiet (which was probably the best thing) but for a room so small it could easily be improved ie there is not enough hanging space in the bathroom and main room and that can be easily rectified by adding more hanging rails on the wall and one on the door in the bathroom as well as hooks, including in the main room. The cupboard above the wardrobe should be accessible and not screwed shut. Also, the vanity unit in the bathroom is too small. My toiletry bag fell off it, breaking the lid of my moisturiser. The ceiling fan in the bathroom is ineffective and the window in the bathroom cannot even be opened. There are no hand towels provided, only bath mat towels, flannels and full size towels to dry yourself with. The latter aren't very thick though. There is only one small handrail so that isn't enough space to hang the towels after use, meaning they need washing more often as they will be placed on the floor. One side of the bed in the budget room is against a wall, so that could be a problem with two people sharing the bed. There are no power points near the bed so it creates a tripping hazard when you are looking at your phone on your bed with it charging on the wall near the desk; that is if you have a long enough cable. The TV is placed near the main door and is small so not easy to see from the bed. It also is faulty because it stopped for a second occasionally. The kettle was very dirty, due to using hard tap water in it. That put me off using it. I tried cleaning it by wiping it with a flannel but I couldn't get all the dirt off. Boiling the kettle with vinegar will clean it. I thought it was odd that there are no lights on the ceiling, and there are no light switches near the entrance door, meaning a light needs to be left on at night time when you go out, otherwise you have to walk in the dark to the bedside cupboard to turn on the light. That's either a safety hazard or a waste of electricity. There is a nice looking pool and surrounds that would be good to use in the Summer. Two young men who work at the motel regularly asked if we needed anything, so that was something positive. I asked if there was a recycle bin nearby. One of the men said there is one but it's near the front of the building but that was a long distance from the room. I said there should be a recycle bin close to the rooms. My partner only chose this motel because it was the cheapest he could find in Adelaide. It's cheap because it's very basic and lacking details that would make it more comfortable for the customer. It does have free car parking, however.

I’m very, very sorry to have to write this review because normally I like to be kind. I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and the room I got smelled old and musty and the carpet smelled like there was pets in there before me. I was not comfortable with the smell. Otherwise for the price paid everything else the bed, shower etc are okay. I’m a very sensitive person who really cares highly about cleanliness tho so idk

I usually wouldn't write bad reviews, however if I could give zero stars I would. When I got to my allocated room (Room 8), I was appalled by the state it was in. The amount of cracks in the room and bathroom was a worry. The bed was like hard as a rock or your sleeping in the indent of others who have stayed before. My poor back is not going to forgive me for a while. The doona was covered between a sheet and blanket. No doona cover which isn't unhygienic. Lucky the sheets were clean guess that was a plus. The bathroom had the worst lighting and the shower wasn't clean as there was still a soap bar still stuck in the soap dish. Room service didn't changed the sheets just folded them and bed was unmaid. I thought that was the point of room service is to be tidy and everything changed including the bed to be made. I could hear people in both rooms either coughing or talking and even the TV going. There was a dead smell near the fridge and the freezer of the fridge was iced over. The front light left on and was shining bright into the room with no way to turn it off. Lucky it was a 2 night stay or any longer I would have just left. Gordon Ramsey would have had a field day with this place. I won't ever be returning and not worth the money I paid.

Not a pleasant smell upon entering, there was a flooding issue after having a short shower. The service wasn’t great, with communication after running into a problem, after losing one of my belongings. Decent location, nether-the-less. Did the job, for a night away but I won’t be staying again.

Very good price. For a 3-star motel this is just what you'd expect. Continental breakfast include (bread with jam/marmalade, use the in room toaster), milk, rice bubbles, fruit jelly, fruit juice. Shower OK, aircon great, beds OK, TV OK. A bit noisy as it's on a main road, but it's a good location. Easy check-in and checkout process.

Staff are honestly useless. They take 15-20mins just to check in one person. The place is very outdated, our hot water was playing up so after a 16hour drive wasn’t impressed. Bed was decent enough just for the night.

Disgusting - not clean at all. Dirt and grime were in the spa bath jets. Bath was covered in dust. Under the bed was dirt and old 2 minute noodles from previous visitors. No cover on the doona that was covered in stains and looked like it was never cleaned. I now understand why they have a no refund policy - because they wouldn't be making any money if they didn't.

My partner and I stayed here for two nights and it was disgusting, when we went into the room we originally booked, it was filthy and an out-of-date viagra needle was behind the desk. When we went to use the spa there was dead skin or something coming out of the jets, we complained and they moved us to another room for the next night which was just as bad and hadn’t been cleaned. Awful place.

The room and the bathroom area bit old but clean. It good enough if you here just for sleep. Limited crockery and no cutlery. It little bit noisy for our room since it was close to the main road (on the double storey building). Room service just gave you new towel and throw away the bin. The pool was a bonus and they are clean. Didnt even have a leaves floating. My children lovebto have a swim after the hot day. Overal pretty happy stay and for the price as well. Will come back.

Staff were lovely and welcoming. The room was very clean and in good condition for the price. Added on the breakfast pack and was excellent for the price.

It's clean tidy and the employees are very friendly it's a nice place to stay and it's affordable.

Good motel but very noisy inside the room. Motel is located next to the main road. Lots of low level people staying here though, causing extra noise and smoking. Room is clean, enough parking, good walking park is opposite the motel. All in all I like it.

the room was tiny but the spa was great and modern. The bed was so thin that it could have been more comfortable on the floor.

Curtain stuck to door with literal medical tape, spa had brown bits coming out of it floating in the water. Air con/heater didn’t work at all, and has toilet paper stuffed into the top of it. Bathroom light didn’t work at all, and there is minimal lighting in the rest of the room. Switches are initially hard to find, none of them are in logical places. It smelt a bit musty and strange, they said we were getting a non smoking room but someone has definitely been smoking in there. I paid way too much money to get this quality of room and maintenance.

The motel is a bit older than a lot of others. The room was a nice size for 3 adults and a toddler. The bathroom is older and functional. If you want to eat in your room there is no cutlery so needs to be takeaway. Otherwise it was good for the price.

The rooms are dirty, the carpet smells too bad, it has no ventilation and the musty smell is very strong. I don't recommend it at all.

Could not bear the smell of cigarettes in the room. Very quickly requested a refund and we were very glad to have our money returned. We ended up going to a very lovely motel down the road for just $15 more. The receptionist was friendly, but there was no way of justifying $110 per night for this. If it was $40, I could maybe understand...

Beds smelt like stale cigarettes, the beds were hard and the pillows were that thin it was like sleeping on nothing. The spa was stained and had someone else's hair floating around in it. Not very ideal for my pregnant partner.. also for anyone going by the photos on the website, do not get your hopes up. Nothing has been updated for years. The walls were sticky and floors were dirty! And.... still waiting for the deposit to be refunded!!

We normally book the top half it's not to bad .we got the wrong room twice we ended up down the bottom. Very dirty walls yuck.carpet discusting.bed smelt.staff were friendly.stayed a few times but this time after the drama we had never again.the pool area smelt like cat urine.
