Pleasant stay with very helpful staff and in a great location to enjoy Fremantle and the wider area. Breakfast was great and the rooms were quiet, cleaned thoroughly every day and there was a pool to relax at after a busy day. Whilst the hotel is well run, it lets itself down by being generally a bit run down. It’s well past a refurb and the current owners would do well to do that - it’s listed as four stars but I would judge three better. Carpets are frayed at the edges in rooms, walls with scrapes, bathroom floor tiles ingrained with dirt over the years and the breakfast/lounge areas have tables and chairs of the type you might see in a bingo hall, with the Formica edges coming away on some tables. The gym for the size of hotel is very small and poor, with just three machines, all of which are 20+ years old. A refurb would make this well run hotel a super place to stay.
