I booked Ascot Quay because it was close to the airport and racecourse, for two nights on my own before the rest of my party turned up for a holiday. It looked new and modern on their website so expected a great place to stay.
Whilst it was clean and modern, it was fairly basic - the shower was in a dark corner, bit spooky at night! The kitchenette was fine and the sofa comfy. However my opinion is always that the bed is the most important thing - and it wasn't the best bed. Yes it was a king - but made up of two mattresses, very disappointing and uncomfortable from a new hotel. Also the coverlet was very stained and the blanket had a big cigarette burn in it (non-smoking room??).
The pool behind the complex was very nice, although a bit cold to actually get in to! The gym was pathetic and I got straight off the treadmill which was flimsy, the belt was loose which makes running a bit dodgy.
My first night was so noisy it took me hours to get to sleep. Bearing in mind it was a Saturday, I didn't mind until it got really late and I could still hear screeching guests who were departing or arriving at the lobby, and thumping music. My advice is get a room high up and at the back of the building. Also you hear EVERY suitcase thumping past your room as the corridors are tiled and the doors aren't soundproof at all. I was so tired the next morning I considered changing rooms, but didn't because I had a busy day. That night, being Sunday, it was a lot better, but still plenty of noise from the highway came through.
It was close to everything but that's Perth for you!
Overall I'd say it was disappointing, far too noisy, stay somewhere away from the highway if you want peace and quiet.
