Mary Rating: 3 2022-08-29 This was my first experience at this level of hotel accommodation, loved every minute. The large pool was a great feature, considering the heat in Darwin. The room was very large, well equipped and easy to use. Breakfast was great, being able to choose from the buffet every day. I also had an evening meal, which was equally tasty. The staff were so helpful and friendly, whoever was on the desk at the time, even at 5 am!

Debono Rating: 3 2022-08-11 A great place to finish our trip after a week of travelling and roughing it throughout the NT. Room size was good and having a desk was handy, nice bathroom facilities and comfortable bed. The pool was great, extra long for decent swim. Breakfast was also very good with a great array of items.

Matthew Rating: 3 2022-08-10 Huge Room, Centrally located , Fantastic pool, VG Breakfast. we had a large king room for 4 nights in Aug 2022 with some ocean view. including breakfast for two. $320 a night. The room was large, the bed super comfy, the bathroom needs a renovation (but very acceptable considering pandamic effects). The pool was big, excellent water quality and temp, lots of sun lounges, bar poolside. great at happy hour. Breakfast buffet was very very good (not excellent). The staff at reception, particular the person who checked us in , were excellent. Free movies for whole stay . Many to choose. Straight behind is Mitchel St with many bars and restaurants. Across road is esplanade park and the sea (where we spotted turtles). 15 min walk to city park. 20 min to waterfront precinct. 35 min walk to Mindl Beach and markets.
