Comfy & friendly stay
Pros:

Staff were welcoming and helpful. Accidentally left my phone behind when leaving and they called my co-traveller and had it sitting at the desk ready for me to grab. Facilities & rooms are good, clean and comfortable.

The worst place we’ve ever stayed in Darwin.
Pros:

Lovely staff

Cons:

The noisiest hotel in Darwin!! You could hear the guests above you walking around. The noise from the corridor was very loud.

Very true to their offer
Pros:

It really is what they offer. 3 stars and they doing a good job in what they provide.

Cons:

The ratings are great, it’s my fault but I ignored the 3 star rating, not their fault but it is not a fancy hotel. You get what you pay for and they are doing a fair job.
