6/10 Good

Fine for a night
The room would be ok for 1 night. I spent 5 nights there and that was 4 too many really. The room is ok but other than sitting on the bed there was only an uncomfortable plastic chair. The doors seem to be paper thin and did nothing to quieten every noise from the passage way. Pool is lovely and certainly the star of the show here.

The new pool and café area is great. Once the inside of the hotel is renovated, this will be a great place to stay in Darwin. Our two bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. Having a washer and dryer is fantastic. Things are just a bit tired, but presumably now the outside areas are done, the inside areas will get upgrades soon. Staff were fantastic.
Abigail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice enough, room decent… a bit noisy and I got there evening flight and no food available limited Uber eats options because of location. Good for a quick overnighter but I would look elsewhere for extended stay considering the cost, was expensive in comparison to others but has convenience for airport over nighter
Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like that it was close to the airport but found it difficult to raise the hotel for a pickup at airport. Room was great though couple of carpet areas were badly worn or maybe stained. Lovely outdoor dinning areas with different menus. Overall, i enjoyed my stay
