City Waters Lodge

Pretty ordinary place - it is old but it could be a lot better maintained and kept clean. Stayed 4 nights at $170 per night and I think it was poor value. I realize it is high demand week due to Ashes cricket but this is the worst value I've found in Perth over 20 years of visiting.

We booked this for a weekend where we needed to be close to langley park and this was an affordable option that was across the road, however I dont think we would book again. We booked a entry level room which was mostly quite clean (no signs of dust/dirt anywhere) and quite spacious. The kitchen was great with all your basic necessities and a full sized fridge. As mentioned above, the room and grounds were quite clean, except when we moved the chairs at the tables and my foot found a discarded bottle cap and the non smoking sign that had dropped down onto the floor. Apart from those tiny things it was cleaner than other accommodations I have stayed in and cleaner than I expected. Daily room service was a bit odd with some days it looked like nothing was done and other days the bed was made with clean sheets & towels switched out. The shower was almost a disaster with it being faulty and spraying water from the head in one part and the water pressure being more like a high pressure cleaner with such directed water, the moveable part of the head was broken and not able to allow the water to come out so directed, however it was nice and hot at all times and was a decent pressure, so showers were possible. Unfortunately, even with the blinds on the window, at night the room was quite illuminated, and during the day, even with the blinds closed you didn't require lights. There was also not a lot of sound proofing in the room, though all sound came from the street not the actual grounds/other patrons. They do advertise "first come, first serve" in parking however the parking available is extremely limited (30-ish bays for everyone to share) and 50% of the bays are tiny parallel bays right next to someone's room, I wouldn't of wanted to be on the ground floor and walk out in the morning to find someone's vehicle right in my face. I also noticed potential permanent residences (they looked like they lived there, not staying for a holiday) put cones in "their spots" when their vehicles were not there, which meant that it was not "first come, first serve" - When trying to park one afternoon I was told off by a lady who told me I was not allowed to park my vehicle there as it was too big (it was a large SUV) despite fitting in the parking bay and not blocking anyone else - she followed me around while i was getting items out of my vehicle, harassing me and telling me "you need to move your car, you cant park here" - I should have stood my ground however I did not want to cause any issues and moved (one of the only reasons we booked here was for the parking so that our vehicle was safe overnight) If you are requiring super cheap accommodation with kitchen facilities near langley park this option would be suitable however dont expect to be able to use the parking facilities.

Worst motel ever nothing like the photos . only 22 car parks for 80 rooms. blinds didn't keep out ouside lights out. reception not there to speak to . that bad that we had to leave .refund policy non existent .no phone number to ring how can you run a motel like this?
