Located at the edge of the CBD, there not much in terms of cheap good food around the area, but a short 15min-20min walk in any direction would pretty much bring you to town or to the river side for fantastic dines. Perth Exhibition Center is beside the hotel and may have special events on during your visit.
There are Bus(Free cat runner services) which bring you to "North Bridge" for your oriental meals, art and historical museums and night life, as well as to "Harbor Town", another shopping enclave for big discounted brands. Walking to these places are totally viable as well.
Train station is just located around the corner, for the more adventurous willing to travel out of the city.
