What guests think

Econo Lodge East Adelaide is a budget motel praised for value, convenient city-edge location, and generally spacious rooms, while repeated feedback notes dated decor, inconsistent cleanliness, tight parking, and frustrations with app-based, offsite check-in.

The location is praised for easy access to the CBD, parks and events, with some reports of traffic or late-night noise. Rooms are generally spacious, but reviewers cite uncomfortable beds, weak or tepid showers, and unreliable or missing Wi-Fi. Parking is free but tight, and simple self-catering is limited by the frequent absence of a microwave or toaster. Overall, expect no-frills value near the CBD with some trade-offs in maintenance and convenience.

Cheap and cheerful. Only real issue is the electronic check in. Could not get that to work. Communication back was a day late. Fortunately, face to face check in next door was a breeze.

Room was clean and comfortable. Was skeptical about the room key app you had to download - but it worked ok. Parking is tight - really tight. BUT - the shower..... or more accurately the barely tepid dribble that came from the showerhead even with the hot on full and no cold. Standing facing the "flow" and trying to get your front wet meant wandering around trying to get the drizzle to hit you - all the while your back was dry and getting cold. This really needs attention.

The key code was interesting. You have to have internet to operate the key to get into your room.You also have to down load an app before you arrive to make it easier when you arrive. This is how you access your room. There is no staff on site. You need to go across the road to the other motel who will help if needed.

Great location and price, but you get what you pay for. Room had not been cleaned properly (eg. Dirty floors, dirty shower, random pieces of rubbish such as an empty soda bottle behind bed side table and pieces of candy on floor). Shower water pressure was absolutely luxurious though! Rooms are outdated and very basic. Bus stop across the road. Check in is at motel across the road or via link sent to SMS (however I could not use this because I had prepaid). Not terrible, but wouldn't put this motel at the top of my list either.

We booked for 5 nights and were unhappy to discover that there was NO wifi at this property! When we asked reception why there was no wifi when it was clearly advertised as "free in every room" they told us that they weren\'t responsible for this and that Wotif had added it so that they could increase sales. They even suggested that we sue Wotif for misleading advertising. I was placed on hold and the recorded message also explained how there was free wifi in every room and their own website also described free wifi in every room. DON\'T STAY HERE IF YOU NEED WIFI

The room was very disappointing – didn’t look at all like the pictures online. It was old and tatty, with a stained carpet, saggy mattress and leaking shower head. The Wi-Fi was weak and intermittent and the window had no handles, so was almost impossible to pull closed. There were no hand towels or bedside lights. It was good to have parking, but the spaces were very narrow and anyone parked on the end of a row risked damage as vehicles tried to negotiate the tight carpark. Good points – walkable to city and friendly staff on check in – though this was over the road.

Although the beds were uncomfortable and hard, the room was clean and spacious. There was a lift to get to the second floor which was helpful. We had to check in at The Royal Coach Inn next door across Flinders street. That was okay, not convenient but okay. If it had been raining I might not be so generous. The real issue besides the bed was the fire alarm that went off at 2:30 am for 30 min right over our door. This awoke the entire complex and was relentless until 3 am. Phone calls to the after hours number went unanswered. Trying to get back to sleep in the rock hard bed after the shrill of the siren over our door was impossible. Also, the traffic on Dequetteville and Flinders street was heavy late and early morning causing further disruption. Would I stay here again? No thank you
