I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Coober Pedy. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-presented, making me feel right at home. The service from the staff was stellar, with everyone being incredibly helpful and attentive. The location is perfect, just off the Main Street, close to attractions like the Big Winch and Italian Miners Club, and I truly appreciated the care the staff showed towards guests. While the dining options were satisfactory, including fresh fruit and a variety of beverages, I did miss a bit of variety in the menu. Overall, a great value for the fantastic experience I had.

The dining experience is satisfactory and provided communal kitchen supplies. Overall, a modern and clean option, with friendly staff, in a great sunset-view location.

Overall, a fantastic choice for a stay.
