Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
Great location with great views of the ocean. Incredibly easy access to public transportation. Also, lots of food options close by. The only issue was the poor designed shower. It flooded the bathroom every time it was used.

Great location and overall the hotel is clean & comfortable. Definitely a few minor areas that could do with a freshen up but otherwise wonderful
