Pleasant location
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The particular room we were given was next to a fire exit , so the window was much smaller and half the space was replaced with a mirror . The overall feel is that of a beach hotel

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Poor communication prior to booking. I felt that I had communicated my needs for two rooms, one for 2 adults and another for 2adults and 2 children. I had communicated this via the message app and verbally on the phone, continued with the booking and the. Was told on arrival that they could not accommodate our needs and it therefore cost me another $1300, nearly $1,000 on day one and another $450 at the end for a additional roll away bed.
The rooms were not serviced everyday only every third which is ridiculous at any hotel let alone Darwin where it is hot and humid and it is necessary to shower twice a day.
The soap in the shower ran out on day 4.
The hooks on the back of the bathroom door are too small and can't hold towels and therefore the wet towel (that was not changed unless asked) fell on the floor.
The cleanliness was poor, there was a dirty food tray outside our room for the first 24hours which was not from us but from the guest before as it was there when we arrived.
The carpets in the hall where filthy, the whole way down the long corridor.
I have been coming to Darwin for 25 years for work and started staying there once it opened and stayed everytime I visited but I would never stay there again

离会场近

Cons:

凌晨抵达，之前预定的还不让住，只住半天，价格高出会议价格一倍，还差点被诓骗没早餐。总之，很不友好，经理全程扑克脸，简直莫名其妙。

Overall, I enjoyed my stay apart from interupted sleep
Pros:

The location was central to the waterfront and within walking distance to the city centre and surrounds. The room was clean and comfortable, also the breakfast was enjoyable.

Cons:

Unfortunately, my room was right next to the elevator which was noisy, causing interrupted sleep. I thought there could've been complementary water bottles.
