Liked: Staff & service
I was just using this place as a layover spot before I joined my cruise ship. I got in very late after connecting flying from the states. 14 time zones away. Darwin is a wonderful tropical town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Very similar to Hawaii. Very laid back but with all kinds of shopping dining options. This is a bacis only hotel with no frills, a nice swimming pool. Great for I situation like mine.

The room and the hotel in general were OK but rather tired - in need of renovation, even just a good coat of paint would have been beneficial. The lock on the security gate was defective and the key had to be in a particular position but the night porter failed to advise us of this so we had trouble getting in. Other staff were friendly and helpful.

Great place for live music or lounging at the pool

The pool is fanastic, evne better than the pictures as it says a bunch of seating options, Sun loungers, chairs, comfy couches and lovely cabana style seating. Great live music at the restaurant downstairs and centrally located in Darwin to access the supermarket and beach. Lovely atmosphere and any staff I dealt with were lovely and friendly. Seems like a staple in the community as its always busy in the restaurant and outside seating for the live music. Lively downstairs but once you hit the room its quiet. Love the full size fridge and huge wardrobe for storage.

Great price, but very dated and a few things like the doors need to be replaced. The key entry to the pool and rooms is outdated and problematic for easy access.
