“The recent upgrades are a plus, as are the outdoor pool and BBQ areas; however, the check-in process sounds unnecessarily convoluted, and breakfast buffet experiences seem inconsistent. Its location in Adelaide CBD puts you close to many attractions, and the modern design provides a stylish base for exploring. Overall, expect a mixed experience.”
