As a Gold HHonors member, I never expect much, so I'm never disappointed. As this Hilton doesn't have an Executive Floor, it pales beside the better appointed Adelaide Hilton. I had arranged the booking through Hilton Diamond Club reservations, scoring a standard Guest Room for AUD$189 per night, less 20% DC discount (net $151.20). Thus, when I was given Room 529, I was happy - this room was a huge Deluxe Room with a King Sized Bed and near the lifts (but without being on top of them). I'm never sure what the other rooms are like, as this was the third time I had scored this room in the last 4 visits, having only been upgraded once to a corner Suite.....

I stayed there last year in a standard room. It was OK, neat and clean, but clearly quite old and needing a refurb, and no broadband facility.
On the next visit to PER my business colleague insisted I stay at the Esplanade in Fremantle. It's a nice building and in a great location, but like the Parmelia it's past time for the rooms to be refurbished.
Wondering where to stay on the next visit.
BTW, I stayed in the MEL Airport Hilton for the first time last year and it was great. The rooms are great and the restaurant was very good.
