Arrow Four Points Perth, Western Australia, Australia [Master Thread]

This weekend I stayed at the Four Points in Perth. Due to an O&G expo in town what should have been a AUD 180 / night stay was instead over AUD 400 for the first night booked into an accessible room. My Ambassador took care to ensure that they understood that I didn't need an accessible room and alerted them to the fact that I'd be arriving around 2AM as my flight landed at 1AM.

I arrived at the hotel and was greeted by name when I approached the FD. The GSA confirmed that I was the last guest checking in so she was pretty certain who I was. She offered me a slip with the amenities and I chose the 250 points. I asked about the local gift but she wasn't really certain what it was. She had some ideas but wasn't sure. I'd seen in the SPG app that I was upgraded to a suite. The GSA confirmed this and said that she's be able to keep me in the same room for the following two nights which I booked using our corporate rate as part of a separate reservation.

The lobby of the hotel is in the typical FP style. There is a Brew cafe to the left as you enter and an Eatery straight ahead. The next evening a friend came to say hello and we walked into Brew but it was simply too loud to stay. The space is pretty large and sparse with nothing to absorb the sound which bounces off the hard floor and walls. There is also a business center room with two computers.



The elevator requires a key card to go up, but it doesn't limit you to your floor.


The suite was failry large but a bit dark for my taste. The living room has a couch which appears to open to a bed, a chair and a desk chair. There is a wifi router in the room as well as wired internet. The bed was ok, but nothing like the Westin Heavenly Bed.







The TV in the bedroom is too small to be able to cover the STB and other supporting infrastructre. While it isn't a big deal, it looks messy and detracts from the overall aesthetic and makes the room look cheap.





The safe is in the closet at about waist level.
