Needs to lift their game
Pros:

Location is one of the best in Darwin

Cons:

I think because I'm here for a couple of weeks the housekeeping has become a little bit slap happy with topping up the bodywash and sugar and milk

Pros:

War zentral gelegen, Supermarkt und Lokale sind in der Nähe. Pool und Waschmaschine waren auch vorhanden.

Cons:

Als Alleinreisende war die Umgebung nicht optimal. Es gab gegen abends viele Herumlungernde. Daher war ich zum Sonnenuntergang immer in der Unterkunft.
