Hi Jim,
So the trip is on?! nice one, will be great to see you again, it's been a
while... you know you are welcome to stay at ours if u want, but fully
understand if you want to stay with mates, can't quite fit in 9 -10 blokes,
don't think the girlfriend would understand!! :) you will have to come over for
dinner or something one of the nights if your here for a few days, let me know
your plans if u don't mind... gotta at least fit a curry in!! a belly full of
beer at the game of course!! (goes without saying really)
I'll touch base with one of my mates re: tix as he usually goes in the shed
section which is a good laugh, but we'll def meet up before game after!! I
know a few pubs around by the ground also so will drag you there if that's
ok??... when do u need to know by for tix?
your mate about sums up Citigate really, it's not too bad a hotel (not flash
either), used to be pretty crappy but they have been doing a fair bit of work
on it lately, rooms etc have been refurbed, I think they are ok. location is
not too bad either you can walk into city in about 5mins fairly close to a few
pubs also as u would expect... we have our quarterly updates down there in one
of the function rooms... it's a bit dated down in the reception area, but if
it's somewhere to use as a base it will be fine.. just looking at their website
its $155 / night, not to bad as it is pretty central.
Anyway hope that helps... Don't forget let us know your plans!!!
Vince

Hey Vince,
As a Mirvac employee can you comment on the Citigate Hotel as described below.
Also do you want to get some match ticket(s) with the rest of us Wolves?

Afternoon all,
I have just had another update from Perth Glory regarding tickets for the
Wolves match.
They have a section of the stadium allocated for travelling Wolves fans and at
this stage they have reserved 40 tickets for our group in that section,
although more can be assigned to us if needed (we currently have 33 people
confirmed).
Also, we have had some questions about the quality/standard of the Citigate
Hotel, as it has historically been a bit of a dump. However, the hotel was
taken over by Mirvac Hotels last year and since late August 2008 has been
undergoing a major $9m refurbishment to bring it up to 4 star quality. Every
room in the hotel has been stripped and re-furnished with modern up-to-date
facilities (eg flat screen tv's, new beds and furniture) and the bars and
restaurant have also been gutted and re-designed. All interior work has been
completed and they are currently finishing off the exterior painting. The
hotel manager acknowledged the poor quality of the hotel prior to their
acquisition last year but has assured me that the remaining external painting
will be finished by the time we arrive. Hopefully that eases any concerns that
people had about the hotel.
As always, I'll keep you posted as things progress.
Cheers,
Marcus Chantry
