Rooms are self-contained suites rather than standard hotel rooms. Confirmed room options include a Studio Suite with a king-size bed, a One Bedroom Balcony Suite with a queen-size bed, a two-bedroom balcony suite with queen-size beds, and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.

The room setup can include a kitchenette, sitting area, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and private bathroom. Some suites include balconies, and the larger suites add separate living space, which makes the room feel more apartment-like during a longer Adelaide stay.

The stay works well because the pool is on site, and the hotel also has a fitness centre and elevators. Parking is on the property, with indoor private parking available for an additional charge.

The hotel’s art-led identity is part of the stay rather than just lobby decoration, with large communal spaces and works connected to Tommy Watson throughout the building. This gives The Watson Hotel a more distinctive feel than a plain serviced apartment or standard suburban hotel.

The practical limit is the parking height: the indoor parking has a maximum height of 2 metres. Guests arriving in a taller vehicle need to plan around that restriction.
