“Family convenience with self-contained amenities such as kitchen, washing machine, full-size fridge, dishwasher. Pool & gym was handy, as was woolies across the road for supplies. Good location if you like to get in and out onto the highway/westgate/airport freeway. Close walk to crown casino. Reasonable pricing. Bit of a walk to other parts of the city but ok with good shoes! I liked the larger than usual towels; it's the small things.Overall thought it was good value.”
“The staff are very friendly and welcoming, especially Renson and Vicky. I booked a 2-bedroom apartment for an overnight staycation after a long night out at my hens night at Crown. If you love to party or dine at Crown and are looking for a place within walking distance or just a short drive away, this place is perfect. Beautiful city views Spacious lounge and kitchen area Good-sized bedrooms Clean and comfortable beds Reasonably priced And if you’re a selfie mirror person like me, you’re going to love their full-length mirror right at the entrance—because who doesn’t love checking themselves out in a full-body mirror before heading out.”
“On seeing some reviews on trip advisor I was a little nervous about this place. However I was really happy with our stay. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfy. The lifts for a big establishment were never slow, the location is perfect being straight across the road from Woolworths. Staff friendly & easy walking distance to bars, restaurants and cafes. Apartments were reasonably clean and tidy perhaps only down fall would be a good whip around skirting boards wouldn’t harm. All in all would definitely come back again.”
“Great service, Lovely staff. Very secure lobby. Super comfortable beds and pillows!! A nice stay and would happily book again. Street parking can be a bit tricky if they have booked out, so make sure to book ahead of time! Thanks!”
“Had a great stay! The room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly, and the location was very convenient. The beautiful view from the room made the experience even more special. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Would definitely stay here again.”
“Our stay at Imagine Marco was truly special 4001w room. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, which we deeply appreciated. The room itself had such a beautiful view it made every moment feel calm and memorable. They also offer secure parking for $30 per night (just make sure to call ahead), which made everything more convenient and stress-free. A small reminder they consistently share is to avoid parking outside Marco, especially at Ace Parking, which we found helpful to know in advance. Overall, it was a stay filled with comfort, care, and little thoughtful touches that made a big difference. We’d gladly come back again”
