A wonderful getaway in the heart of Freemantle!
Pros:

The facade and location are lovely. My room was large and modern, the balcony over the pool was lovely for fresh air.

Cons:

Not that I didn’t like it, but if you are going for a romantic getaway, be aware that the pool view rooms also over look a multi storey parking lot, so perhaps ask for a room facing away from that.

Pros:

L hotel a un charme fou. Nous avons eu la chance d etre surclassés car la chambre que nous avions reservée avait eu un degat. L equipe nous a propose une boisson offerte pour patienter le temps qu ils puissent terminer notre installation. Petit dejeuner tres fourni et varié. Nous avons pu profiter d une tres grande suite avec terrasse. L acces au centre de Fremantle se fait tres facilement à pieds.

Cons:

Tres peu de "goodies" de toilettes proposés alors que nous étions dans une chambre "luxe".
Absence de brosse pour nettoyer les toilettes.
