“Basic cheaper comfortable motel”

Jacksons Motor Inn

3 of 5 stars
Brisbane, Australia
Apr 15, 2008

We were planning to stay in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills but stupidly, we didn't book anything and there were 4 weddings in town so everything was completely booked. We went to the information centre in Hahndorf and they recommended and contacted Jacksons for us and booked us a room. It was about a 15 minute drive from Hahndorf and the motel is located on the outskirts of the city on a very busy main road out of the city. The motel itself was quite basic but comfortable. We stayed in the "newer" section of the motel and I wouldn't have wanted to stay in the older part. The new part was a bit tired but what can you expect from a motel. The rates were good considering we booked at 5pm in the afternoon of the night we wanted to stay. They could have elevated the prices as they knew accomodation was limited but the didn't which was good. There was quite a lot of traffic noise as its located on a busy main road but that slowed and almost stopped later in the night. We did hear the constant beep of the traffic lights walk signal all night (Aussies will know what I mean), which was a little annoying but we got use to it. All up, basic cheap accomodation for an overnight stay.

“Cheap basic motel. OK for a sleep.”

I stayed here as all my normal Adelaide accomodations were booked out. This was one of only a few places in Adelaide with rooms left. I paid a ridiculously low rate and was pleasantly surprised.
It's a very basic motel about 3km from the CBD on the road to Melbourne. Quite noisy for traffic.. the room was very basic with cracked tiles and very tired. A rattly aircon unit was louder than the TV, I had to switch it off. The TV was old and basic, with snowy pictures. The breakfast was very basic and served with a smile. The staff seemed friendly, but absolutely no way were they going to help me with my heavy suitcase.
If all you want is a sleep in a bed, a warm shower and a basic breakfast at a rock bottom price this place will be fine..... If you want more go elsewhere!

Ahhh, we should have know better.... This place really is a "road side stop over" style accomodation. Shame, it could be a paradise close to the freeway.

We had 2 rooms-the guys/kids got the fancy room (go figure!) and we arrived at 8:45am breakfast the next day (against a 9am cutoff!) and was told that a cooked breakfast was now not available and fresh coffee (a few scoops in a percolator) was obviously not forthcoming (why go to breakfast then??).

Unfortunately, they don't try too hard at all...... which makes me find alternatives (but that is just me!) Bye bye Jacks...
