Decent room at a good location in central Darwin
Pros:

Spacious rooms providing the basics for a short stay and just that. The location is very convenient, on Darwin's main street, close to restaurants, bars, and cafes. There's a big fridge in the room and a sink, but no cooking equipment. The pool is nice to cool off but there's only 3 lounge chairs.

Cons:

Quite expensive for the value provided, but so it seem to be every other hotel/motel in Australia. There's only one person at reception so she's often unavailable.

Truly Amazing _Unforgettable Short Stay..
Pros:

Not "like",apparently "love" the warmth welcome from the beautiful Leanne.. the front office lady with a beautiful raspy voice..
Leanne.... Vinaka# thank you😊🇫🇯

Cons:

There's nothing to dislike...
The room was exceptionally clean,spacious and cool. Had a deep in pool refreshed before checking out. Last minute booking which perfectly fitted my budget. I would have prolonged my stay. Unfortunately, all rooms were fully booked.

Worst staff ever but room is fine
Pros:

Property is clean, even if a little bit dusty. Room not too small. Location is fine.

Cons:

I came here twice and staff was pretty bad. First time reception closed two hours in advance and I was hoping to ask them to leave some luggage for one night but was impossible. Second time I came was even worst!! I was already charged for the room but they didn’t leave me the room key (I was arriving from the kakadu tour so reception was already closed) and told me to call them when I get there but I couldn’t with my italian phone number so I have to ask a kind lady to make the call and they told me that was my fault because I didn’t arrive in reception hours (I told them three days in advance that I would arrive at 7pm from the tour). One hour to have access to my room! So be mindful if you don’t have an Aussie phone number. Last thing, if your room is close to the gate entrance you will wake up all night from the noise!!
