Very nice bloke on check in, couldn't have been friendlier and always let on when seeing us about the place. This motel is comfortable and does the job. Perfect location at the end of Anzac and close to the centre of Glenelg. Glenelg is very busy and expensive during the summer but this place was very reasonable at $110 a... More

I stayed at the Buffalo for a second time in January 2013 and again had a marina view room. All my work colleagues stay at the Buffalo for its great location. While it is on Anzac Highway it is in fact on the last few inches of the quiet, so-called highway before it turns the corner towards Jetty Road and... More

We have stayed at the Buffalo for several boys/footy/cricket trips. It is close walking distence to the beach and some great pubs. Easy to walk to the tram which drops you off at the door of the Adelaide Casino, Adelaide Oval. Realy affordable accomidation, if you aren't after the ritz!

Your typical affordable 3 star hotel, just basic amenities. Walking distance to many cafes & shops. Single bed for my teenage son was awful, no springs left, seemed just foam. Free car parking was very handy.

We stayed in a very comfortable, well appointed room. It was at the back and was very quiet. We found it to be well cleaned. The only disadvantage was having to step up into the bath. I had to be very careful because of 2 bad knees. The location is ideal as it is close to the business centre and... More

This motel is not 5 stars, but is located in a great position just minutes from Glenelg beach and restaurants and the tram. It is comfortable and warm inside with the essential amenities. I think these features and location for under $100 per night is great. It is priced competitively compared to most other hotels in this location. The air... More

Stayed at this motel. Great Prices and location, service was good. The room and bathroom look like they haven't had a refit since the 50's. Back rooms desperatley need an upgrade, @$85per night, what would you expect.

Although the Buffalo Motor Inn is an older style basic Motel, it is clean and comfortable in a convenient location for all Glenelg has to offer. Standard rooms are more dated with their decor and there is some obvious maintenance required. Reception staff friendly and helpful.
