ReviewsWe perform checks on reviews.Tripadvisor’s approach to reviewsBefore posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

They have got really hot showers with a good heater.Especially nice when you visit Adelaide in winter.
Beds are on the soft side.A basic wardrobe is provided.
The inn keeper was very accommodating to our request for first level rooms as we couldn't climb the stairs.
It's a basic no frills motel but the rooms come with extras like a microwave oven,toaster and refrigerator which I thought was a nice touch.
The inn keeper remembers request.We had a request for a taxi in the early morning and all that was arranged for promptly.
Located just less than 200 metres from the nearest bus stop where you have buses 861 and 864 that gets you to town and Chinatown.
Reception closes at 8pm though.
There is no room to room telephone.
Basic cleaning daily.

The key we were given wouldn't work properly my partner was locked out of the room with our 4 month old baby in the middle of the night he tried to wake the lady up and she comes and and abuses and swares at him for waking her up! She wouldn't accept that her key was faulty do not recommend this place to anyone!!.



TV (which was small) reception was awful. Carpet was filthy (walked in bare feet for 10 minutes and ended up with dirty feet), giant cobweb in main tiny room, lighting was awful, hot water came out brown, bathroom basin full of chips, towel rail ready to fall off, door lock dodgy (had a chain but found door ajar on the first morning, police were in attendance 2nd morning) and the pool was dirty.
It took three rings of the bell for the not really friendly woman at the desk to respond.
My rating is ZERO.
DO NOT EVEN THINK OF STAYING AT THIS EXCUSE THEY CALL A MOTEL.
"I had Room 9 on the ground floor - which is away from the traffic. Room 10 is the last room on the ground & 20 on the upstairs level."Read full review
"Go for the Family room above the carport. It's not part of the main complex so noise is not an issue."Read full review
