Adina Place Motel Apartments

Very clean and fresh , great location and the staff are very friendly

Pros….off street parking….quiet…easy access ( walking) to restaurants, pubs, cafes…pleasant staff…great view Cons….lounges in 2 bedroom apartment ( first floor, unit 14…..) absolutely the most uncomfortable couches you can find…should be in the tip….for 4 nights we sat on the dining room table chairs to watch TV. On leaving I asked the receptionist to get the owner to go and sit on either couch for five minutes…I’m sure he will replace immediately as dirty and you sink to the floor. Would not return as paying over $1000 for 4 nights we need comfortable seating at night…which is a shame as it has heaps of Pros.

The cons outweighed the pros of this accommodation in which we stayed for 4 nights which is why I can only rate it average. Starting with the Pros. PRO: Good location which was quiet at night, on-site free parking & guest laundry available on 1st floor - 2 washing machines and 2 dryers, gold coin operated. 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen, etc., that was very clean & had all the basic items as advertised. Linens were clean, as were the towels although they were well used (aka quite thin). Good storage in bedrooms. CON: The most uncomfortable bed and pillows which meant aching bones every morning and not a lot of sleep. What made it worse was the two double couches in the living area were also incredibly uncomfortable, with little to no support whatsoever - felt as if it was simply upholstery fabric over wooden frames and no webbing under the seat cushions. This meant you were uncomfortable trying to relax in the evenings and when trying to sleep at night. The other problem with the bedroom was evident on the first night we stayed, with it being a cold night outside and also in the bedroom. I had found a spare blanket in the wardrobe which we used on the bed but when lying in bed for a couple of hours, wide awake because of the poor quality mattress and pillows, I realised I could feel a cold breeze. Checking behind the blind and curtain, I discovered the window partially down. I attempted to close it, only to find that it couldn't be closed fully - the rubber stripping that is within the frame of the window had come away and was hanging down, tangled within the window frame, meaning that it couldn't close fully and so the cold night air coming through the opening left by the window dropping on one side. I did report it the next morning (reception staffed limited hours each day) but being a Sunday, there was no-one available to repair it..... nor did it get fixed before we checked out after our 4 night stay. It is an old motel, with either well used or cheap furniture. It's clean, it's convenient, it's quiet at night and it allows you to self cater but it may be better to spend a bit more money to find somewhere more comfortable if you want a good night's sleep.
