The hotel was extremely outdated and run-down. While they appeared to be going for a retro 50's feel, it was just old and dated. There were cracks in the ceiling, paint peeling on the wall, yellow stains in the bathroom sink, burns marks in the carpet, and it stunk. There was also no Wi-fi, and when I asked the front desk about it, they just said it doesn't usually work and there was nothing they could do about it. Also, the picture on Expedia is completely false advertising. This hotel is not on the beach.

The main picture is not of the hotel, it is a public pool that is a 5 minute walk away.
The hotel and facilities were old. We had an appliance trip the safety switch during our stay.
The downstairs pub and live music is loud. If you’re not here for the music I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Definitely not recommended for families

It was kinda cool vintage but it is a bit run down. Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable, shower worked well. And I did appreciate the double glazed windows when it was trivia night, but on Thursday there was a DJ and the pub was so loud double glazing did not make a difference. If I was on a vacation I wouldn’t have minded but I was in Perth on business and the noise kept me awake.

When we booked we didn’t realise that the Hotel was a famous venue for live rock music, having featured Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and AC/DC amongst its more famous guests. The Hotel has a 1970’s retro styling so don’t expect the most up to date facilities. Nevertheless, it was clean and the staff were very helpful. It is conveniently situated a 5 minute walk to Scarborough’s excellent beach, outdoor pool and many eateries. However, as the concert room adjoining the bar is part of the hotel, expect loud music from 8pm to midnight on Thursday - Saturday nights. And I mean loud, the bass resonates through the walls and windows. An experience, but not for everyone.

It was just gone 9pm every thing was closed ,it said when i booked a free glass of wine this was not offered or available, i had to buy a bottle of wine for 48 dollars there was no lift working, the water was not working i couldn't have a shower.
The tap in rhe bathroom wasnt even over the sink.
It was just an nightmare of a stay .
It cost $225 .00 for the night.
The pictures when i booked it in the website was totally different.
I was so disappointed. The whole hotel is old and dated.

Walking into my room was like walking back into the 70s with the retro carpet and shower curtain. For the most it was a clean room but there was some mould on the bathroom ceiling which they need to deal with.
Not the most sound proof of accommodations either so getting a decent night sleep was impossible.

BEWARE
I was mislead by the photos advertising this hotel and in truth it is a party hotel for young people. There was no way I would stay so we wasted $240 as there was no refund and I was advised by the receptionist that they could not transfer this room to another night as it was booked through you!
BOOK YOUR ROOMS THROUGH HOTEL, NOT WOTIF
I tried emailing the hotel and appealing to them that I would like to send my wife’s adult son instead so we can have the night together at our own home instead (this was why we had spontaneously booked the room, wanting some privacy) but I never heard back. If we’d booked directly then they may have been able to help but having booked through you we were left with no option other than lose the money.
My son actually booked a way better hotel with a bath (which is what we thought we were getting) for $30 less and only $100 deposit.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T SPONTANEOUSLY BOOK HOTEL ROOMS UNLESS YOU’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
Very disappointed in how misleading your hotel pictures are.

This hotel desperately needs updating. The toilet seat is cracked, stained and probably unhygienic. The shower head is placed in a corner and ok for someone small, but not for anyone bigger as there isn't enough room between the two walls to get under it properly. The tap on the wash basin isn't over the basin, so floods the back of it when running water and is also not easy to get a glass of water or fill the kettle. There is no bed side table on one side, although plenty of room for one. The fridge has missing shelves.
However, the staff were amazing and sorted out two issues for us really well and quickly - can't fault them.
Our towels were changed daily so I would like to see a notice, like many hotels, that if you leave your towels on the floor, then they need changing but if they're hing up, then don't. Save the hotel money, and saves water and power at the same time.
It's in a convenient location for what we wanted but we won't stay there again.
