Our one bedroom apartment was recently upgraded, by the looks. And they did a great job. 2 TV's, great shower head, new bathroom, new carpet, stone bench tops, leather lounge. Free parking. Great location. And old school prices. Perfect for a short or long term stay. Our second trip here in the last month.

This property should not have the Breakfree logo as it does not live up to the chains standard. The initial room we were placed in was utterly uninhabitable with the blue sofa looking like it had human fluids on it, black marks on the walls, other guests belongings in the room. The room we were moved to after much effort was although old at least was semi clean. The shower kept breaking and although the maintenance guy came up, \"repaired it\" it broke twice again. The holder for the shampoo/conditioner kept falling off the wall, was reglued twice and smashed again. The balcony has chicken wire on it so that you looked out through little squares. Overall, the property is absolutely sad and doesn't even remotely live up to the brands other properties, even in the same city.

Good room, location and cleanliness

I had a good bedroom with a comfy bed. There was a very big attached living room including a kitchenette which had a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and sink with plates and cutlery etc.

Reception was open for long hours and the staff were pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is on Melbourne Street which is a nice road with lots of restaurants, shops and bars. It felt very safe. The free city bus stopped within a 7 minute walk down Melbourne St.

I highly recommend this hotel for facilities, location and cleanliness.

The bedroom is large with a separate lounge/kitchen area & small balcony. Great supply of tea bags/coffee & biscuits. The location is perfect for cafes/pubs/shops.


I don't like to complain when I do reviews usually but feel I have to comment on a high pitched whistling noise that only went away if we either opened the door to the balcony or the main door. Slept with the door shut to the lounge area. We were on the 1st floor room 16.

We go to Adelaide for work every month and now stay at the Econo Lodge on Melbourne St North Adelaide.
It is always clean, rooms are spacious and amazing value for the size and the location of the hotel.
The staff are always friendly and efficient at what they do. Pool is always spotless.

Only aspect that would be appreciated would be installation of security cameras for cars - had damage on 2 occasions- but this is the only issue of note.
