Mother, daughter city stay to see a show at the Regent theatre.
Room were very small, but clean, comfy & exactly what we needed.
Self check in/out so the only time we engaged staff were in the bar (which was great) and at the buffet breakfast, which had a good selection of hot & cold food & beverages.
Great location, clean and comfy.
Highly recommended esp. for the price!

Housekeeping was quite average and basic things were overlooked. Our tea and coffee supplies were not restocked, the soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty, and the toilet paper was not replenished. These are simple details that should be checked daily during servicing.

We ended up having to contact reception to have these items replaced, which shouldn’t really be necessary during a short stay. When we raised the issue, the response from staff felt quite indifferent and not particularly welcoming.

Overall, the stay didn’t meet expectations in terms of service and attention to detail. With better housekeeping standards and a more customer-focused approach from staff, the experience could be significantly improved.

This property was excellent. Very clean. Comfortable. And most convenient for us. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The facilities were great. Full restaurant/ Cafe on site. Swimming pool and relaxing atmosphere.
The only thing we could say is maybe some block out blinds or curtains as the current ones were see through and let a lot of street lighting in. But otherwise perfect. Cheers Hotel/Motel / Alba for a great stay.

The room was clean and tidy but could have used more draws perhaps in the bedside table and a bit more for general stroage. The shower recess leaked water onto the main bathroom floor, I'm no plumber but the lip around the shower recess needs to be several centimetres higher to avoid the leaking.

The room was great for the three nights we needed. If I had to pick up things to improve on I would only say: The bathroom could have been a little cleaner 8/10 - as tiles around the bathroom could have been wiped better. For what we needed, a short break to visit family and with free parking - it was great.
The car park was full bar 2 spots on the Friday night, so that could be painful if you pulled in later. I also thought the room could have a couple of bowls- incase you wanted cereal or noodles in your room- and there was only one spoon.
The staff were really attentive and the restaurant attached to reception was great. Wine and pasta $30 on a Thursday night. We would stay again next time as the location was super handy and didn’t feel like you were in the city. Nice park across the road which held a wedding ceremony on the weekend. It was a good vibe and close to grandparent in thebarton so we love these aspects and it suited us really well.

Lovely room, comfortable bed. Easy parking - outdoors is great because I don’t have to worry about height restrictions on the Land Cruiser. There was an intermittent ticking noise from the heater all night long and into the morning even though I’d turned it off early in the evening. Luckily I fell asleep before it was too annoying. Overall I’d be happy to book again if I can get another room!

Ok

The hotel was fine, location was ok. We stayed over the weekend when there were several hens-nights, so guests were quite loud.
Bedding could’ve been better - 1 very soft pillow each which was not adequate.

Advertising a swimming pool, which wasn’t even at the premises was very misleading, and felt awkward having to go next door to use the facilities.

Great but for one thing

This is a very comfortable motel style (my preference) accommodation. I would have rated it higher but for the extreme musty odor in my room (my friend's room was fine). Otherwise, I would definitely stay here again. Very nice!

The area has a ghetto vibes, all sorts of shady people are gathering on the parking lot in front of the rooms. Also, it's noisy. The staff is friendly and it is a good service, but I wasn't thrilled with buffet breakfast. Occasionally they were lacking food and plates, especially if you arrive after 8 am. The only good thing was a free parking.

We stayed for 5 nights over the Christmas and it was a reasonable place particularly when you are travelling with kids. Pool access and dining options are at Hotel Alba - short walk from the room.
Only issues that worth highlighting are:
- No pool towels were available and no one wasn’t around to ask, so we went back and got our own ones.
- Reception staff people were either overly tired or weren’t really appealing / into customer service.
- Breakfast buffet was good with reasonable selection of food. However, ONLY some staff weren’t greeting to us even on the Christmas day itself. it was pretty obvious that they ignored us including my younger kids, but majority of staff seemed enjoying their work.
- Lower ground room was noisy. We could hear people climbing down on stairs, jumping around on top floor and loud people around.

A motel is a motel, they all very similar in both style and layout but this one is managed by the Hotel Alba next door.
The room was of a good size and contained both a single and double bed and a decent size wardrobe held a programmable safe.
Amenities included the usual wash basin, toilet and shower as well as hairdryer, iron, microwave and kettle.
Housekeeping was daily but could be delayed as required.
All of the facilities of the hotel were available to use and included a bar, restaurant and swimming pool.
The staff were all very friendly, professional and diligent which added to our very pleasant stay.
