I had a mixed experience at The Playford Adelaide. The central location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the nearby cafés and attractions. However, I found some aspects of the hotel dated, particularly the old carpeting and gym equipment. While the staff were lovely and the food was great, there were issues with noise and some additional charges that detracted from the overall experience.

Overall, a good weekend, but I expected a bit more given the hotel's rating.
