Mayfair Hotel Adelaide
On first sight, the room looked of 5 star quality, with good amenities in the room, bathroom and storage area. However, the carpet is in very serious need of a good deep clean and was rather unsavoury to both look at and walk on.

Stamford Plaza Adelaide
Great location, spacious and super comfy bed, loved having an opening window but also double windows to block out the noise when closed. Staff were fabulous. Hotel is quite bit dated and bathrooms are tired but very functional and as I said, you can't beat the location!

The hotel was in a great position for bars, restaurants and places of interest. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Rooms were large and very clean and tidy. The bar and restaurant were lovely with good value food and drink. All in all a great hotel to stay for 3 nights.
