“In my opinion, the location across from Fremantle Town Hall is excellent for exploring. I noted that the hotel's event spaces can accommodate a range of functions, from weddings to corporate events. While the heritage building has some charm, some may find noise from the live entertainment and thin walls disruptive.”
