There is not much in accommodation (hotels) to choose from in the Joondalup area, we found this hotel to be clean and well run, but expensive for what it had to offer. We stayed on a Saturday night, and was told upon arrival that the restaurant was closed that evening. Staff were polite, but not friendly. Recommend only due to cleanliness and a little cheaper than the resort.

We recently stayed at this resort as it was school holidays and all accommodation near the water was booked out- and we are glad it was! We had a great stay here and the staff were really pleasant and the rooms were great. We really loved the food and though a little expensive it was well worth it. We will be back!

The poeple who run the Joondalup are wonderful and can't do enough for you.
The rooms are nice and modern.
The food from the restaurant and room service is good for hotel food.
The only issue was that the cleaners turned the Air con off every day when they cleaned so the rooms are hot and stuffy when you get back from the office.
Otherwise, great for business.

CONS - Old style CRT television, only a few Foxtel cable stations (ghosty too), surrounded by residential, no restaurants or shops in immediate vicinity, no underground or secure parking, restaurant closed Sunday nights, not the cleanest place. Bed felt tinny. Hotel and locale felt sterile and lonely - yet almost $200 per night. Internet @ $20 night. Not a good place for single female because it's isolated

PROS - If you're a walker, Lakeside Shopping Centre is a 10-15 walk away as is Edith Cowan University and the city train network. Very quiet!

Next time I'm in Perth I'd stay near Hillarys Wharf marina complex or Scarborough (for beaches and trendy dining), downtown (for a good range of 4 and 5 star hotels) or Fremantle (for cafes and character)
