Esplanade Hotel Adelaide

The room was really good, clean and priced well. It does, however, get a bit stuffy even with the aircon on. The fan needs to be on low 24/7. I had to leave the door open with the air-conditioning and fan on low at one stage. I do suffer from claustrophobia, though. The only downfall about my stay, was the parking. The carpark was always full with across the road cafe patrons. The last night I stayed I had to park around the back street and walk to the Hotel. That's a big issue for me when I have bags or cases. I had a little issue the 2nd day, but the Hotel reception dealt with it in a speedy manner and was friendly about it. Overall a enjoyable stay.

Booking on Trip.com was smooth, although I paid up front and the hotel didn't realise this and emailed to ask me to make payment. Check-in staff were lovely, very helpful and courteous. The map with instructions to get to my room was a little hard to follow because the security door's keypad numbers were invisible in the afternoon sun until I pressed on the keypad. The single room was fine, basic but clean. I found the mattress very soft (prefer firm mattress), so my back was a bit sore. I had a great Bibimbap for dinner in the downstairs bistro and appreciated the 10% discount. There was some mechanical noise from a machine outside overnight so I didn't open the window for fresh air, though I normally would have. Great location by the sea and on Jetty Rd!

It was nice, it would be nicer in the summer time
