The staff was very professional and helpful. nothing was too much trouble. breakfast banquet was wonderful. There were freshly squeezed juices. a great selection of breads and fresh fruit was available also.
i arrived at the entrance on north terrace with my arm bandaged and a suitcase. i could not open the heavy door because there was no doorman. there was also no sign to indicate that reception is around the corner.

the location was amazing near the train station. i appreciated the proximity to the convention centre and the war memorial. rundle mall was an easy walk. the glenelg tram was also close by.
The mattress was not comfortable. stepping into the bath for a shower was challenging. The sides were too high. i imagine older guests would have difficulty.

The location is central for many things. I found the room to be satisfactory and breakfast had good options. The hotel should update the payment method to accept payments from a smartphone wallet.
The mattress in my room was not super comfortable. It was challenging to step into the bath for a shower because the sides were very high. I can't imagine how older guests manage this.
