As part of excellent customer service any establishment should be judged on how they deal with disgruntled customers. The Ship Inn staff know that this is an opportunity to demonstrate a high level of service. Well done Ship Inn. Thank you.

The property was very convenient and clean except for a few spiders and webs on the architraves. A bit noisy in the surrounding area in the mornings but it is a commercial area so to be expected but was tolerable. Would stay again and recommend to others.

The location was very central to Busselton. Walk to the jetty, walk through Busselton & Kmart was just across the road. Very convenient to all those amenities. Dining room options were available - good food to eat but if you desired take aways the stores were on your doorstep. If you needed some alcohol, that was on your doorstep Dan Murphys. Location! location best place to stay in Busselton. You won't be disappointed! Very happy with the accommodation. I don't cook when away from home, I just used the kettle but the oven & microwave was available to use. It was a self contained unit, just right size. The bedroom was big & no complaints with the bed & the bathroom. I did have a surprise on my third day there I open up what I thought was a cupboard door but discovered a washing machine. One thing I did note that the pool area was looking rather tired & could do with an uplift. More shade, more trees, look very empty & plain but the water color was inviting on a hot day. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Cleaning lady worked hard to keep the rooms ship shaped. I would definetly stay here again. Maybe not as fancy as the other places around the area but came with a price tag you could affor.

Stayed from Tuesday - Friday. Our stay was very nice, the area was quiet, the bed was comfortable and apartment was nice. The bar is right next door so is very convenient. Loads of restaurants options around and shopping, quick walk to the beach too. The area itself is quiet apart from cars going past but that wasn’t a problem. Our first apartment had an infestation of ants around the laundry area under the stairs / laundry sink, which soon spread to the kitchen where our food was. This was resolved fairly quickly as we were given another apartment and a free drink on the hotel in the hotel bar. Our stay was very nice apart from the ants, hence the lower star rating as things should be cleaned properly, even under stair cupboards/sink… if they were checked prior to us checking in, then the ants would have been seen and we wouldn’t have been given that room.
