We had a full kitchen with a grocery store right downstairs which was great, however there were not enough utensils to properly prepare a meal. Overall it was a great experience.

it was very tidy, the only thing i didn't like was the blinds they need block out blinds and blinds that go all the way to the edge of the windows they all had gaps and let the daylight in while sleeping.

We arrived early as my daughter in law had had an accident and was on crutches, the reception staff were very accommodating and let us check in early and changed our car park to right out the front.
Much appreciated, thanks guys.

The bed is too big for the bedroom. An alarm went off all night but I assume this will be remedied and there is no dining available.

I like The Watson in Adelaide much more. Quiet but very convenient for going out. Room is clean, facility is enough for a short stay, staff staying late for help.

I was annoyed that the website advertised that there was an onsite restaurant but it had actually closed down. This is one of the reasons i selected the hotel because i was travelling on my own.

A great Location.
Light switch for the bathroom in a studio is difficult to find, a small sign would go a long way.

I have stayed here before and the old staff members were friendly and courteous. The new members were quite obnoxious.
