Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
Rooms have great views. Parking to check in is quite difficult with front entrance still closed. Renovations are taking a long time with pool still closed.

Tribe Perth Kings Park
The room was so small and one chair as a bedside table. The bed was so close to the window that one of us had to climb over to get into bed. It definitely wasn’t worth it for the price.
