The Beaconsfield Hotel

Left on street! Took money! Arrived with young family later than expected. They did not let us in. We tried for two hours phoning and begging to be let in. As it didn’t feel like a safe area, we went back to the airport and had to sleep there. When speaking to them on the phone the following day, they lied about phone calls and asked me to send through a phone log.  They also said they would phone me back which they did not. I tried to send through the phone log as proof as requested, but they had given me fake emails. Each time I call I am told the manager will phone me back but nobody does. They have taken our money and ruined a family holiday. In addition to the night of the hotel, we had also had to pay for taxi to, and from the airport and could not do our trip the following day due to lack of sleep. This hotel is known as both of the Beaconsfield and The Wray. Please do not trust either I do not want other people to go through what my family had to.

愉快的旅程

The Wray has an excellent menu with a huge variety of meals to suit any palate. Their pork spareribs are usually a stand out, as are their lamb chops. However, on the weekend they had a new Sunday roast special that was being trialed. Sadly, the combination didn’t work. The beef was a little too rare, the pork belly too fatty, the fried mac and cheese bar (yes you heard that right) was cold, as were the mush peas, and the pickled onions were completely out of place. The crowning glory was the Yorkshire Pudding which was as dry and crusty as my mother in law. To top it off, we ordered the $28 bottle of house SB and were charged for a $39 bottle - we didn’t notice this until we arrived home. Too late and too far to go back and get a refund. We may go back to the Wray but we will stick with their tried and true meals.

I stayed at the Wray for few nights. I had a beautiful comfy stay. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean. The toilets were clean but they are shared. I went downstairs and watched the afl game. It was packed and the food was amazing. There’s some renovations about to happen for the toilets in the accommodation.

Very cold in the bar and we had to ask for it to be turned off. Had the Pearl Couscous salad with chicken and a house red…. Expensive for a tasteless Red I might add. Started to feel tummy problems pretty much within an hour after eating and had to leave my friends. Left half the wine so indicative of how I felt after the meal. !!! I never leave a wine. Got home and vomited profusely 3 times with the whole meal ending up in the loo. Went on all night… would say it was the chicken in the dish coz a salad is pretty easy to whip up. Won’t be back after this lot of gastro… check your meat Wray. Lady next to us also made a complaint about her food as well.

This review is based on the food served in the hotel restaurant. Average at best. I was sceptical due to the large variety on the menu that is more reflective of a smorgasbord on a plate. The surf n turf presented without the surf and the turf was subpar, we asked if we could please have the prawns they were brought out pretty quickly in the form of skewers and were rubbery and cold. We also ordered the garlic prawns dish of the same quality not appealing. Shame WA have a good supply of local seafood and produce. The service was good no complaints there. To sum it up, there is just too much going on with the menu for it to be consistent and of a reasonable quality. I would return for the local vibe and a beer.
