This is an older property that could use a bit of love. The room was clean and reasonaly well appointed. There is nothing wrong, just a few little things that had no effect on our stay or use of the facility. I would stay here again.

Convenient location. Fair price for the CBD of Darwin. Check in staff were lovely and accommodating. They moved us to a ground floor upon request. Facilities were clean, but well painted if a little dated. Saltwater Pool was clean and lovely for a swim. We would stay again.
