Cycad plants at front of building need immediate attention - first impression of Motel not good. Blankets in room bare and we had no confidence they were clean for our stay. Stayed 2 nights for $300 and assumed, like a normal motel, that after our 1st night stay the room would be tidied / bed made / bathroom cleaned / towels replaced etc. No this service has to be booked in advance and an extra $45 paid.

Landscaping requires immediate attention - Cycad plants look terrible in front of Motel. Blankets for bed are old / tired and did not have confidence they had been cleaned. Stayed 2 nights for $300 and after first night assumed that the bed would be made for 2nd night / towels renewed / bathroom cleaned etc. found out not the case unless for give prior notice for this service and paid extra $45.

Like most hotels in Darwin, it needs an upgrade, especially the bathrooms. Also the AC in the rooms is controlled and nowhere near cool enough - please lower the temperature to give guests some more control over the environment in the rooms, especially in this climate!

Even though it was quite pricey, it made up for it with how spacious the rooms were and the beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was great but it was really slippery getting out of the bath/shower. In the end, I enjoyed my room

Property is showing its age, outside room windows were dirty and mouldy. Evacuation alarm activated three times in a 24hr period (last one at 4.20am) causing the evacuation via stairwell from the 8th floor which is not good for the elderly with medical problems. No assistance offered by management, nor apology. The location is convenient with excellent harbour views.

Big open living area, bright lighting in the bathroom, reading lights at the bedside that worked, lovely little balcony, comfortable KS bed, excellent air conditioner, powerful shower pressure, kitchen had good supply of basic amenities, lounge was comfortable and overall, the room was very functional, quiet, safe, clean and had a good vibe!! (Just a little dated but nothing a good paint job and new floorings wouldn't fix!)

Really enjoyed the family room with adjoining bedroom. Kitchen facilities and two en suite bathrooms was perfect for two couples sharing. The view over the esplanade is beautiful especially at sunset
