What our Owners & Guests Are Saying
Though my friends and I had a short stay, the staff were SO amazing. They were BEYOND accommodating, friendly and helpful. They let us check in early so us girls had extra time to get ready for a wedding we were going to, when the cab company of Perth was giving us a hard time Jackie was a true saviour and gave us a ride (saving us from being late to our event) and refused to take money for this, and gave us a connection to get back safely. The staff are professional, kind and genuinely go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole experience felt personal and warm. We felt truly taken care of, not just like another booking. I can’t recommend this place enough! If you’re ever in Perth, this is the spot to stay. Thank you again to Jackie and the entire team for making our trip so memorable!
