Well priced Darwin Airport hotel
Pros:

The Ibis is a surprisingly well priced alternative amongst the colocated Darwin Airport Hotels

Cons:

A lot of upgrade work in progress which did impact the room itself. Very quiet

Wasn’t pleasant at all
Pros:

Close to airport

Cons:

The price you pay for what you get is poor. The television. Cannot watch just normal TV. The room next to me had so much fighting and screaming all night that I could hardly sleep. I had to call reception to sent security to the room next to me. Not a pleasant stay as all
