Review of n°4 room New Whyalla Hotel 10 Gowrie av

No private parking,(street parking). Wasn't told that the restaurant wasn't operating that night ( reason why i chose that hotel to have access to dinning). Someone opened our door while we were inside the room. After going to complaint about it, i was told that it was a personal member who had the spare key by mistake. We will not comeback to that hotel, overall not worthy of the $99 we paid.

The hotel was conveniently located for my business purpose. Unfortunately, it falls short in customer service and cleanliness, due to a lack of training/staffing I suspect. However, there were a few staff that were very helpful and they made a difference to my stay.

Booked in for a quick overnight Sunday. Yes, it was cheap through Lastminute, get what you pay for I guess, but no dining facilities (Cafe Primo shut down), bar was open, staff (one person) friendly.

Nothing new about the hotel. Bed was comfortable. Room clean but don't look to close. Well worth the money. Convenient dining downstairs, and great food.

From the outside the entire hotel looks like a prison, and in a dodgy area. Inside hotel was only a few gamers and couple people in the bar. Staff were unwelcoming, seemingly spacey, and claimed there were going to have a busy evening and that it would be an inconvenience to order food from them. Room was very dated and dark, we somehow managed to laugh at the fact we’d booked this room based on a different appearance when booking online. Definitely not worth the stay.

Room was basic but safe secure and in a good position, Staff were very helpful, food and beer were good only slight negative is you could hear the music from the Bar a little in our room at the stairs end, possibly ask for a room down the other end if you think it could bother you.

We came from Adelaide for a 50th party overnight so really just needed somewhere to sleep, however the electricity kept shutting down on one side of the room which was very frustrating. The room is also in dire straits of an upgrade!! The staff were very helpful in giving us extension cords to help with our needs but overall a disappointing stay. We wouldn't stay again.
