This is my go-to hotel in Adelaide - it's a great location, rates are good (especially if you book in advance) and free parking is always a plus! This was a fairly spur of the moment trip for me, having decided the Monday prior to a long weekend that a trip to Adelaide to catch up with some friends and family. I was able to get a good rate despite the late booking, and was able to avail myself of a daily $25 food and beverage credit through the EVT Stays program as a promotion. As usual, the room was in good condition, the bed was as comfortable as I remember (seriously, one of the best hotel beds I have slept in!) and the pillows were perfect as well. A nice touch: daylight savings started the day after I arrived and there was a note in the room noting this and the direction in which the clocks went. There's new toiletries in the bathroom including liquid hand soap, not sure what scent they are (apricot?) but they smelt great and didn't dry out my hands. The shower is also amazing, with a great shower head that can be adjusted for more of a mist style or a standard shower style. Parking was no issue for this stay, I was always able to get a park in the car park, usually very near the ground floor room I was in. I used the daily food and beverage credit for breakfast each morning at Ela next door at the Alba Hotel (where one also checks in) and had a great breakfast - first day I had delightful waffles and the second an amazing ham and cheese croissant. I do have a couple of suggestions though, all very minor: * More cutlery in the room would be great. There was only one teaspoon in the room, and that wasn't changed out after I'd used it (in fairness I probably didn't make it clear that I had used it). Reception was able to get me another spoon when I asked but having extra, as well as maybe forks and knives, might be useful for e.g. take out from elsewhere. * The pillows on the bed are great! But there were only two pillows on the bed, more would be nice. (This is almost certainly just a "me" problem as I have a tendency to like to "nest" with four or so pillows.) * The TVs still have previous guests signed into Netflix etc. on them, something that's been a consistent thing since I started staying here. It would be good if they were checked once guests left and signed out, or alternately a different TV setup that prevents this from being an issue.
