Location to Glenelg and beach, 5min walking distance, quiet street, Pool was advertised but access was not possible ? Otherwise highly recommended

6/10 Good

The location was great. Quick walk to Jetty Road and the beach. The room was clean although could have done with some maintenance. Bathroom ceiling had paint peeling and some parts of wall had plaster missing. The first room we had, there were issues with the blind not working. After some back and forth with the representative on the phone, we were given another room.
Christine, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Can’t pay with cash, 8% extra in charges.

Although hotels.com quoted a fixed price that could be paid at the property, the property was not staffed, and payment could only be made by a link in an email, which I consider unsafe, and there was a surprise 4% card charge and another 4% service charge on top, despite there being no staff there. Payment in cash was not possible. The next door air conditioner was ridiculously loud, no sheets for the second bed, a dirty pillow in the cupboard and the bathroom window didn’t function and its fly screen was ill fitting. Great location, and the refurbished lounge and kitchen was fine, but I wouldn’t choose to use an unstaffed property.

2/10 Poor

No instructions on how to check in. No reception. No ability to pay for the room. Called a number and was given all the wrong instructions. Couldn't access the room so had to book and stay somewhere else. Absolute waste of money.

4/10 Fair

We liked the room…. But was VERY disappointed because as advertised when we booked there was a pool, we were not allowed to use it… False advertising!!! One of the main reason we booked this accommodation was because of the pool. We had a very upset boy those couple of days, as pool is privately owned!!!!
