Great hotel - ideally located … it’s in the tropics so there is a touch of tropical mold smell that you find everywhere in Darwin

Older hotel in very good location near the waterfront. Small rooms and bathrooms. Checking in was ok for us but our friends with two other rooms had extreme difficulties. We arrive a few minutes early about 2:30 and their rooms weren’t ready. That’s ok because we were early and staff said they’d be ready by 3:00. But there was an IT issue and the system was down. During this time a fire alarm sounded, the FD responded. But it was a false alarm. Finally after waiting 3 hours our friends were given their room cards. We included breakfast with our reservation and it was goid.

Was rated really high. Room was very ordinary. Don’t offer daily cleaning which is ok I only stayed the night but only 2 towels shower 2 times a day in Darwin heat but towel has to last me 4 showers. Check in was quick and nice guy but didn’t offer a lot of information. Overall I don’t think I’ll stay again when in Darwin

Air-conditioning dicnot get cool enough. Fridge was all rusty along the bottom of the inside and outside of the door. Dispensers in the shower where very dirty and all clogged up. Back of the bathroom door was very dirty looked like old dried blood splattered on it. Bathroom needed a good clean.

Everything in the room is damp and uncomfortable. New room the sheets are dryer but it's all damp. I was woken at the hotel by drilling at 8am. There was (big ones) on the ceiling and blinds. Was a long drive from Katherine bur couldn't get a rest straight away because of this issues!! Very disappointing!!!

Nice position on the waterfront. The hotel is getting on in age but still good enough. Lot's of eateries in walking distance, whether in the waterfront precinct or over the road (Skybridge) and into town. Lots of historical areas in close vicinity, WWII and Cyclone aftermath. As for the hotel room, it was quiet even though 2 floors down there was a lot of activity in the waterfront with bars and restaurants. Room was a nice size. TV had basic free to air channels. A few issues: bedding was not changed after we spilt some coffee! and mini bar and coffee was not restocked the next day! However there is a Mini Mart across the way that stayed open till midnight so we just went there for our supplies. There is a wave pool downstairs ($9.00 entry for adults) that was nice and warm which is nice coming from Perth where every pool is quite chilly.

Rooms in terrible condition. Grotty, poor maintenance and the halls and rooms smell of mildew and air conditioners that desperately need cleaning and likely pose a health risk. Location is good but could not recommend this hotel.

Obviously this property is under staffed, room was not ready upon arrival at advertised check in time & many others were also waiting long periods for rooms to be cleaned, No options were given to store luggage close to room as we were on a dead line time wise & delay was causing issues. Room & position is quite good, many food options & recreation at your door.
