DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront
Basic check in with no welcome or hotel explanation, room wasn’t vacuumed, tv didn’t work- kept turning itself off. Given an accessible room even though didn’t need or want it. Around the pool lots of tiles missing, no one working at pool bar. For the money it’s not worth it.

Novotel Perth Langley
The rooms and decor are extremely old and carpet is worn and pulled up in some areas. For the price per night it was not a well received room.
