Disappointing to say the least not good value, for another$60 per night we could have stayed in a t
Pros:

the bathroom was good
The pool was good however it is in shade for most of the day
Darwin easy access to restaurant precinct

Cons:

No Balcony & the window did not even open.....room was an adjoining kids room from another bedroom.
It had 2 single beds which were very hard
Darwin water is undrinkable & except for arrival ( 1 bottle each) no water was supplied had to buy it.
Rooms are not serviced at all unless you upgrade & for $330 per night I would expect atleast clean towels.
No hand towels were supplied,1 towel & a facewasher each, very poor, had to go to reception every time we wanted a clean towel.
