I’m staying here now and I’m loving it. I don’t need luxury or service, therefore this is more than what I expected. Very reasonably priced for a suite with more than the basics. Just spent 3 hours in the pool. Great location, I will return. I loved the spirit of Darwin. People are nice, no frills and I felt very relaxed here. PS - Someone mentioned that there is no clothes line but in my suite the clothes line is over the bathtub, opposite the washing machine and dryer. In my heyday I used to stay in backpackers, so I’m very impressed! :)

Great location, and a spacious suite with well equipped kitchen and a laundry, which we needed for a longer stay. However, I copped an 11% surcharge on my credit card when paying for parking and after six weeks of seeking an explanation and a refund I've had no response. Not one person has initiated any contact with me, and when I do get hold of someone I get shunted to another department, who ignore emails until I contact them again, only to be passed to another department who take no action and do not make contact.

Our first room, which was for a 5 night stay, was very noisy, we left for a one night stay at Kakadu and before we left we asked to be moved on our return which was for another 4 nights, because the noise was relentless, doof doof which meant we couldn’t really have our balcony door open.We were moved two doors along and despite our reservations we were reassured it would be quieter, it was not. We requested a front facing room to get away from the noise but were told it would be $85 per night extra. I think we should have been warned by the hotel or flight center, who we booked through, about the noise. The rooms weren’t really clean. We had to request someone to come and clean the dust and mould off the ceiling and air cond vents in out first room, when he moved the bed to reach the air cond vents it was clear it hadn’t been vacuumed under for a long time. Our second room was a bit cleaner but the exhaust fan and vents could still have done with a vaccuum and I found a previous guest’s hair clasp when I moved the case stand. Some of the staff were nice enough but one in particular was downright unresponsive to our concerns. It was handy having a kitchenette and laundry but I would not stay here again although it was convenient to shops. There have been food scraps in the hall all day, also I forgot to mention the art work in the halls is moldy and there is a cat with 2 half grown kittens living in the car park and nobody seems to be cleaning up cat poo. Also it is $19 a day for parking which we weren’t aware of.
