Adelaide Motels

The room was comfy; The TV was a good size; The bed was a king size & good to sleep on. We had a buffet breakfast & dinner each day. The staff managed to keep up the service. The food was ok. The staff was extremely busy & run off their feet. A big thank you to Christian & Jane for looking after us. The site is the perfect location. Close to the city & landmarks. An ideal base to travel from to tourist destinations. We loved it.

Very clean comfortable motel for the price. Comfy beds with great big thick pillows. Obliging staff. Outside seating and very clean pool although the weather was a bit cool to swim. Would stay there again.

I have stayed at Granada a couple times & have enjoyed my previous visits. BUT, not last time. Upon entering our room, I couldn't help but notice a mould smell and very noisy from traffic especially trucks coming down the hill. I approached the staff the next 2 rooms they put me in smelt and could breathe. I booked deluxe room there was no way these rooms were deluxe. I also noticed a very wet patch on the carpet that took 2 days to dry out. The bathroom had spots of mildew on the walls, in the shower. The rooms looked 'tired' & not particularly clean. The front of the building was untidy with old rubbish on the ground. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, I left 1 day after booking in. I will never stay there again. I wonder if there has been a change of ownership/management since my last stay June 2021.

Due to flight delays and re-routing from Bali to Perth to Adelaide instead of Bali to Adelaide direct, I arrived too late to check in, so I did not get to stay there. However my communications with them prior to the potential delay were polite and they tried as best as possible to accommodate potential late arrival but it was after midnight by the time I cleared Adelaide airport.

This motel is perfect for a short stay when visiting Adelaide via car. Easy to get to being close to the main highways and roads in and out of Adelaide. Rooms had everything you needed for a short stay (except a microwave). Reception charge a $50 deposit for your stay so keep that in mind when checking in, you get it back on checkout but was a little shocked with how high this was considering we’ve been travelling around Australia for the past three months and never had a deposit this high. The rooms weren’t the cleanest and we opted to use our own doona as the one in our room had stains and smelt off, same again with the pillows with my partners one smelling of urine. Wasn’t a bad nights stay for the price, hopefully they fix a few things and I would stay again.

Although staff at reception were friendly and helpful, management need to allocate more resources to cleaning (as I’m sure the limited staff do what they can with the time they are allocated to clean each room). The state of my room was disappointing to say the least. Rubbish was left from the previous occupier in the bathroom cupboard and with the tea/coffee supplies. The floor looked like it had not been vacuumed. The thick layer of dust along the top of the bed head was unbelievable. It was warm in the room but the ceiling fan was filthy and therefore I didn’t want to use it. Thankfully the toilet, shower and bedsheets were clean but I honestly thought about leaving within 5 minutes of my arrival! The small on-site parking is handy, but it’s tricky to manoeuvre into and only available if you’re in early. The website photo of the executive room suggests it overlooks the park. Sadly, a view of the car park was for us, but the good thing about this was that it reduced the noise from the street. I will not stay at Ensenada again. I will avoid Glenelg as well - too noisy (late night bars), too busy, and quite grubby overall.

Nachdem ich drei Wochen im Hotel gelebt habe, kann ich sagen, dass ich ein Meister werden werde. Die Zimmer sind groß und gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist sehr gut, der Bus kommt am Flughafen an, das Hotel liegt neben dem Glenelg Beach und zum Strand sind es ca. ein paar Minuten. Die Hafenabzweigung am Eingang hielt viele Boote an. Das Wetter im Juli war morgens und abends sehr kalt und mittags heiß. Der Himmel ist blau und das Meer auch. Das Hotel geht zum Outlet, IKEA, der Flughafen ist sehr praktisch, es gibt Busse in alle Richtungen; Es ist auch sehr bequem, in die Stadt zu fahren, in den meisten Fällen wählen wir den Bus oder die Straßenbahn am Strand. Entlang des Weges gibt es große Rasenflächen und Häuser mit Garagen, alles ist frisch. Es gibt viele Lebensmittel in der Nähe des Hotels. Es gibt ein hochpreisiges Meeresfrüchte-Buffet. Gehen Sie über 1-2 Minuten und empfehlen Sie, an Wochentagen mittags zu essen. Der Preis ist günstig. Zu Fuß 4-5 Minuten in Richtung Strand ist eine Reihe von Restaurants mit Blick auf den Hafen, mit den besten Austern und einer Vielzahl von frischen Zutaten. Der Restaurantwein der Stadt soll ein wichtiges Merkmal sein. Etwas weiter zum Strand geht es in die belebte Fußgängerzone. Die Straßenbahn rast langsam über die Straße, mit Eisdielen und verschiedenen Gourmet-Einkaufsläden auf beiden Seiten. Adelaide im Juli war Winter, noch kalt, nicht im Pool schwimmen gegangen, aber der Pool sah sauber aus. In dieser Stadt gibt es keine Peinlichkeiten, nur ein ruhiges Leben und eine Feuerwerksatmosphäre.

Most plastic chairs and 1 of the 2 plastic loungers at the pool were broken and beyond repair. Pool seemed to have its often leafy and hair-balled bottom vacuumed and some water added once a week. It never appeared to have any disinfecting chemicals added. There was a pool safety sign that showed first aid tips and a no-running rule in small font, but there was no mention of the commonplace horseplay, jumping, and diving in the pool. Also, kids routinely ignored the No Running bit - often in full view of their watching adults. The pool’s layout seemed to invite accidents with sharp edges protruding in at least 3 places along the attached remains of 2 jacuzzis. Overall, it was often a playground for kids and their watchers, but at best, rather like a plunge pool with insufficient space for any real swimming, even for a couple of guests. A shading structure covered 2 wooden tables and benches, and the whole pool area was enclosed in a fenced part of the parking lot adjacent to bins for recyclables and garbage. Someone made a daily routine of throwing out crushed biscuits and crackers to feed pigeons, etc. Housekeeping and reception were very professional with only occasional reminders needed about missed reservations and amenities at the busy time we were there. Room furnishings included large tv, microwave, refrigerator, good mattress and kitchenware. Laundry room with card reading machines was another plus. Location was great for either walking or taking the tram to Glenelg beach - walking there along ANZAC Hwy or using the tram at 4th Ave & Dunbar Tce.
