Nice location - close to lots of restaurants, bars and shops as well as the harbour. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are a bit tired - there was a used bandaid stuck to the bathroom floor from previous guest (was kinda camouflaged from the tiles) and there was no complementary water bottles in the room so we had to walk 10 mins to find a 7-11 to buy water. Beds were comfortable and I liked the streaming function option on the tv.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times but we’re not impressed this time the pool area has declined a lot and has no atmosphere this is the second time we have been here and the pool bar is closed. You can order on your phone but it’s very limited selection. Location is very good rooms were comfortable and clean. Main bar in the hotel closed at 10 pm on a Saturday night which we thought was early - overall had a nice stay but did not think it was worth the price.

Complete rip off! Don’t know waste your money

The day we arrived, the hotel was hosting a big conference for the mining industry. We dropped our bags in the room and headed out for dinner. The first issue was the about of black mould in the bathroom but we had dinner plans so we dropped our bags and left. When we returned around 10pm, the hotel was still very busy and noisy with the conference guests. We went to bed and laid awake as the air con wasn’t working and the toilet was running all night. Overall, a very disappointing stay given the cost of the room. Only when we woke up we noticed urine stains on the bed too! Yuck! When I went to reception to let them know, they offered a free bottle of water…

Disappointed

A bit disappointed with our stay. The hotel really needs a renovation in all areas. Our room desperately needed a renovation in the bathroom and seemed very run down and a bit shabby in places. On a good note the barista in the breakfast area makes excellent coffee! The pool area is nice and the hotel is situated in a perfect postition for the main area if Fremantle. Be wise when it comes to parking don't necessarily use the car park the hotel recomends at $30 a night unless you don't plan to use your car. Like us we were out all day and found off street parking much cheaper option.
