Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. But room smelt on arrival, mold in bathroom and on air-conditioning . Plus extra $ 153 charged to my account this evening with no deposit refunded or specified reason for it. Room was paid (177.70) in full yesterday at check-in No damage and no room service used. Be prepared for car to be scratched in car park.

I was very disappointed with our stay - booked a Superior Double Room with view (which was lovely over the Swan River) however this should have had a King-sized bed however what is has is two double beds pushed together with a gap in the mattress between, the bottom sheet does not reach the edges properly so doesn't tuck in meaning that when you move it bungles up under you. In addition, the base under the bed ended ~ a foot from the edge meaning that when you rolled near the edge or sat on the edge there was no support under the mattress, and it sagged away under you. The pillows were very thin, and there was no additional blanket to go over the thin doona. I rang the restaurant multiple times to try and order dinner, with no answer so walked down to order, when I arrived the service was terrible, the pear cider was well past the 'best before' date and was give the response 'it's not an expiry so it's up to you'. A room alarm near us was sounding but there was no answer from reception, despite advertising as 24 hr - I would have discussed this on check out, but there was no one at the desk. A nice job has been done upgrading the facilities, but the venue is significantly let down by the staff.

Service was terrible from arrival to check out. Booked room for 3 to include a roll away bed, bed was not in room for arrival. Went to reception to ask again for bed and a hour off back and forward I finally received the bed at the room. On arrival to hotel later realised bed was delivered without a blanket so slept cold all night. Price does not match quality at all. Would not recommend.

This is a unique property with beautiful views of the swan River. The room was very clean and quiet modern. My only issue was the scan menu for room service wasnt working so we were unable to order any room service. Also the corridor door leading outside kept getting slammed shut early hours of the morning by other guests which kept waking us up.

Property has high end fixtures and fittings and presented well - extremely clean, however there is no drinking water in the rooms and no ironing board for the iron provided. If you’re a late check-in and require water or beverages you will need to arrange in advance. Room doors are also extremely heavy, they slam shut and can be heard through the night from neighbouring rooms when you are sleeping.
