Crowne Plaza Adelaide Mawson Lakes by IHG
Staff are nice, the room is clean and spacious. Overall its not what I expected just an average hotel I thought it would be a bit grand since its Crowne Plaza Hotel. Nice stay though.

Cleanliness was acceptable (since the staff didn't vacuum, there was a lot of hair on the floor and bread crumbs in the drawers), the staff were helpful, and the household appliances were very good.
