This was a 1-night stay so it has the best location to the airport. Great staff including shuttle service. Great restaurant food. Chef in the hotel restaurant on 1st floor was exceptional. Greatful to the hostess for her food suggestion.

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.

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
