Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island

Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island

8/10 Good
"The best part about the hotel is the view from the balcony. The rooms are clean, typical hotel rooms. It was easy to park and walk around town. I would not suggest the restaurant though. The food was horrible. Other places in town had much better food."
