“This updated hotel strikes a resort chord along South Terrace, making it a comfortable base for exploring Adelaide. The pool scene looks great, complemented by an on-site restaurant that emphasizes local cuisine, in my opinion. I think that spa and fitness options, plus rooms with city or park views, round out the appeal.”

the parkside king room was spacious. it featured a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. the hotel's location was convenient to public transportation. i found the room to be clean. the high ceilings gave it an airy feel.
The restaurant food variety was limited. Dessert service was slow, requiring an hour's wait, so i skipped it.

adequate stay with a few issues

convenient locationstrong bleach smellslow tv
the location was convenient to visit family in hospital.
The room smelled strongly of bleach upon arrival. It was quite overpowering. the tv was also slow and kept freezing. Navigating the menus was frustrating, not ideal. our garden view wasn't very good as we were only on the first floor.
