Reviews and Ratings
The stay at the hotel was awesome. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, they were not serviced during our 2-night stay. The hotel room itself was great, although not worth the price paid for it.
The hotel is spacious and offers large rooms, but they do have a funny humid smell typical of Darwin's wet season. The location is convenient for shopping and a short drive to the waterfront precinct. However, there are some issues with vehicles on the footpath during check-in/out. The dining experience can be improved, and the facilities are adequate.
The hotel has nice aesthetically pleasing rooms with views of Darwin harbor, but unfortunately, they smelled musty and damp. The neighboring room was unfinished, impacting our overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, easy access to shops and restaurants, but could use more plant life. The rooms had a very mouldy smell and were noisy, but being able to get sunlight made it feel warm. Only one room was cleaned per week. The dining experience was fairly good with an adequate choice of items but a bit pricey. Overall, the hotel had friendly staff and some comfortable lounges, but the pool was shaded in the mornings.
