Wonderful hospitality, food and comfort
Pros:

Thank you Nathania and everyone at Rydges Palmerston. For 3 years I have stayed at this fabulous hotel for my work and rate this stay very highly. I have stayed at Rydges for around 500 nights in total and have always felt comfortable, looked after and happy on each occasion. I enjoy the comfort, the food and the friendliness. This time around was an upgrade for which I am very, very thankful🙏🙏🙏. I will always recommend this hotel for those wanting to visit Darwin or even for day tripping to local attractions like Litchfield. It's very central and you can walk easily to any number of shops. This may be my last business trip here but I'll stay here when i return for a holiday with my partner. Many, many thanks again.
