Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Freshly refurbished hotel right in the centre of Darwin. Had a pool and the pub had some live music. Lovely staff and we had a great stay.

Cons:

There is a small window above the door to the room letting in light, so it wasn't a dark room.

I would definitely stay again. Although not a 10/10 score, it was better than we expected for the $
Pros:

Free upgrade meant we had far more space than we expected. Although no elevator, staff keen to help us with our luggage

No private car parking. But staff helpful in offering suggestions for alternatives
