We stayed overnight before flying out the next morning. The hotel is in a good position which backs on to the Swan River. Outside maintenance could be improved.

Comfortable and clean facility with friendly and helpful staff. Chose it because it had a restaurant, onsite parking and proximity to major highways. Unfortunately let down by the restaurant and kitchen. Very long wait for meals, despite restaurant only being 1/3 capacity. Robot waiter, although cute, took meals to incorrect table and there was a delay for the human server to arrive and serve the meals. 3 out of 4 of our meals arrived at the table barely warm and had to be sent back. ‘Medium rare’ steak requested-served ‘well done’ and appeared to be a cheaper cut than described on the menu. At breakfast the next morning, ordered avocado on toast , avocado was underripe and very discoloured, as was also, the requested replacement. Did not eat in the restaurant again during our 3 day stay. Also, the phones in our rooms were difficult to use, and did not go through to Reception when dialled.

Not an enjoyable stay as the check in experience was poor due to the key/fob not opening the room, very poor communication from the reception staff member. Internal room was clean and neat, however noise is an issue with neighbouring doors opening and closing early hours of the morning, also refrigerator and A/C had loud audible running noise.

This is a quirky hotel. The layout is strange and feels a little deserted. The decor is quirky to say the least. The bed was big enough for 4 people. But the room (river view) was spacious and quiet, the staff were friendly and the food was good. We would return.
