Top hotels in Happy Valley
Adelaide Rockford
Convenient location and clean. Room layout and furnishings were a bit odd - we had a massive ground floor room with hazy views of an alleyway, perhaps the higher rooms were better? Gym access at nearby university rec centre was nice

Stamford Plaza Adelaide
The room was overall nice but seems to be getting a bit out dated. The toilet wouldn’t flush properly. Breakfast was nice and check in was smooth with a lovely assistant.
