Wonderful welcome from the friendly front office staff. This place was perfectly adequate for our one night stop over in the area. It is very close to a vibrant downtown area by the jetty and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The property is showing its age, and could use a little sprucing up, especially the old carpet. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and well kept. Thank you for a great first night in Australia.

An adequate option when staying around Glenelg

We stayed at the Glenelg Motor Inn over the weekend as we were in Adelaide for a short trip to see friends and family. The Glenelg Motor Inn was sufficient in respect to facilities, however the Motel is showing its age in terms of infrastructure and decor. Setting aside the age of fixings and decor, it is well located in terms of access to nearby amenities and has access from the front and rear of the property. Staff were friendly and helpful during interactions.
