I wish I could give more stars! The Tay Inn was awesome! The rooms were spotless and looked newlyrenovated. The owners are wonderful people, friendly, welcoming, helpful and great sense of humor. We had 3 rooms booked and everyone in our party was extremely impressed with everything about The Tay Inn. It is also pretty central to everything you need. If you are in the area and need accommodations, I highly recommend. Very reasonable pricing, too.

We booked a room for NYEve. First time staying. The room was very clean, neat/tidy. The bed and linens were very clean as well. The cost was also reasonable. We would recommend it to anyone who needed a place to stay in Perth.

We stopped for an overnight on our motorcycle trip and followed someone's suggestion to book direct to help support a small business. We booked over the phone and the owner was incredibly helpful. At the Inn, we were created by a clean facility and had nicely equipped rooms. Most residents sat outside on the provided chairs, chatted a little and it felt comfortable. If I was staying in Perth again, I would not hesitate to stay here. Excellent value, clean and well managed.

The people running this hotel are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet - they are so incredibly kind. The room was immaculately clean and the price was excellent. 10/10 experience.

Very clean and amazing staff. This is a great place to stay in Perth. It's at the edge of town, but the town isn't that big so it's a 5 minute drive to anywhere in Perth. The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained, which for some reason is a hard thing to find even at larger chains now. The owners are amongst the friendliest people I've ever met. I had even forgotten some items in my room when I left, and they went out of their way to put my stuff aside and give me a call.

My family and I have stayed here numerous times over the years when visiting family in town, the staff are super friendly and the rooms are always super clean and cared for. The location is great with its proximity to a large plaza and restaurants and the rates are reasonable.

We just stayed overnight on a motorcycle ride to the area. The owners were very personable on check in and had left 2 extra towels to wipe the dampness off my bike in the morning. The room was super clean!! Nicely renovated with a modern touch!! We will definitely be staying there again.
