7.0/10

The hotel is centrally located, close to shops and the waterfront, which is terrific for exploring the area. The rooms are nicely styled but lack practicality with no drawers or shelving, and there's a damp, musty smell present. The service is accommodating and friendly, despite being moved to another hotel mid-booking without much apology. The dining offers a nice variety of options but may not be worth the price. Overall, a convenient location with friendly service.

6.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with separate bedroom and lounge area featuring wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. However, the balcony was run down, and the overall ambiance felt a bit old. The weed presence around the pool was a letdown and didn't match the cost.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms, though spacious with separate bedroom and lounge area, had some maintenance issues like a run-down balcony and old aesthetics. The lack of Foxtel or Netflix was noticeable, but the inclusion of Stan was a nice touch.

Service

5.0

My interactions with the staff were limited and not overly welcoming. The service seemed rushed, especially when housekeeping insisted on cleaning while we were still in the room.

Location

7.0

The hotel is tucked away in a small, quiet area of Darwin, making it peaceful with no noise disturbance. It was convenient for catching tour buses for day trips.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was sufficient but not outstanding. The spread was adequate, but the quality didn't justify the higher price. The Indonesian food stood out as a notable option.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were outdated, and the presence of weeds around the pool was a downside. Overall, the value for money was not justified by the facilities.

8.0/10

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms overlooked the harbor and met our expectations for a well-known brand, although they appeared a bit worn for the price. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff, making our experience memorable. The location was convenient within Darwin's Central Business District, walking distance to shops and the waterfront, but the need to get the parking fob from reception was a slight inconvenience. The dining offered a nice variety of dishes, though it could have been more diverse and included more fresh fruit. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming stay with some minor drawbacks.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms looked out to the harbor and provided all we expect from this 'Brand. ' Although looking out the side revealed a sea view, they seemed a little tired for the price.

Service

The hotel is in the Central Business District in Darwin, making it ideal for end-of-day drinks, but having to get the fob from reception for parking was a bit inconvenient.

Dining

The dining experience offered a lovely variety of hot and cold dishes to choose from, a nice start to the day, but it was very basic and lacked a bit of diversity, including more fresh fruit.
