Tolle Lage - sehr sauberes Zimmer
Pros:

Die Lage ist für Fremantle sehr gut. Viele Restaurants können zu Fuss in kurzer Zeit erreicht werden. Unser Zimmer 301 war extrem sauber und hatte einen Balkon mit Blick auf den Stadtpark. Die Bettwäsche wird täglich gewechselt. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Der Preis für das Frühstück ist etwas überteuert. Es gibt bei der Qualität trotz grosser Auswahl Luft nach oben. Dass man für einen Barista-Kaffee einen hohen Aufpreis bezahlen muss, ist unfassbar. Der kleine Swimmingpool ist für unsportliche/ältere Menschen beim Aussteigen ohne fremde Hilfe nicht zu bewältigen. Die Stufen sind viel zu hoch.

Great location!
Pros:

Loved the location & the pool was fab. Plenty of chairs & tables, great service. Parking nearby.

Cons:

The beds were only doubles, too small for 2 adults & 2 tall teens. The bathroom smelt like Bali. We were on the road side and heard every car, motorbike, busy nearby nightlife went well into the early hours of the morning. We only booked here to be close to the B Shed for the Rotto Express Ferry, however we were advised after we booked, that it was closed that day for maintenance and we had to drive to Northport. Not the hotels problem.

Pros:

Wonderful location. Comfortable bed

Cons:

We were in an accessibility room which i didnt realise i booked. Our aircon stopped working and the windows were fixed and not able to open to get fresh air despite the room being on the ground floor.
The shower was not clean - splatter on walls when we arrived. i cleaned it off myself. Floor in shower stained. Multiple lower wall damage from accessibility use which is understandable but it felt like a substandard room.
