Loved it, I have been to Darwin for work before. Next time, would love to stay longer.
Pros:

Location, the reception staff & area immediately around it. The pool was beautiful even though we did not swim. We were exhausted from our flight. The restaurant & our meal was great. We grabbed a desert & took it back to our room, watched Netflix, it was a great night.

Cons:

The sign heading to the location when walking from the air-port. The sign for the motel was sign posted if you are walking from the opposite direction from it so we walked passed it. It was very hot. Had to ask some people where it was. It was kind of right there but the motel we was not clearly signed as well. I saw the Novatel but not the Ibis which was where we stayed. Maybe this is out of your hands but I think a clear sign when you cross over to the side where the resorts/motels ar could be helpful.

Pros:

Location to the airport, access to the facilities the resort offers. We stayed in a room in the IBIS which we found very good, was nice and clean. The area was well lit for walking at night, the check-in process was efficient even though there was a line up when we got there at 1.00am.

Cons:

Having to leave after only a 1 night stay.

Would not recommend purchasing a room to family or friends.
Pros:

Location, daughter loved pool.

Cons:

Size of the room, the fact that had to have the key card it just to have lights or aircon was extremely annoying.
Lack of food choices in restaurant.

Convenient
Pros:

I wanted something easy with a late flight arrival. I walked across to the hotel and was given a ride from reception to my room. The 11am check out was really nice after my late arrival also

Cons:

Signage from the airport was a bit hard to spot

Worst Ibis ever.....an airport hotel at its worst.
Pros:

breakfast was fair to good for a standard airport hotel
waiting space at counter was good
rooms had pool towels
pool had loungers and beanies.
there were some native birds around
breakfast seating was inside and lovely outside tables
it has free laundry to use.

Cons:

where do i start?
the room was cell like and dark
the hallways were prison like.
the smaller adult pool was under renovation and this was not mentioned in booking
the remaining pool was frigid, even at end of day.
you could not offload bags at room which was about four minute walk with cases,
parking was off site and a few minutes walk.
Price was very expensive for a last minute booking.
