Liked: Cleanliness
It was conveniently located in the centre of Darwin with easy access to shops and restaurants the waterfront is an easy walk to get too. No real services at the hotel.
Hotel was close to meeting venue and the staff was very helpful in getting me checked in earlier than expected, however the smell of cleaning product in my room was overwhelming.
The staff? What Staff? There was only one staff member who was lovely, helpful and polite. I am not a fan of the contactless system. I like meeting the staff. Plus there really is no room service given you have to go down to the café and collect your meal instead of hotel staff bringing it to you.
Great stay for business. Rooms big and generously spaced. Central location. Would look to stay again

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room had lots of red stains on the carpet, it looked like blood or red stains. Either way it didn’t look great. It was also quite smelly from the air con and stuffy.
Older strange looking building but well located and bathroom was modern
