Room was good value for the money. Clean and bed comfortable, though did have a musty smell from the humidity. Ask for a room away from the lifts if you are a light sleeper. Breakfast provided in the dining area was basic, but good. No hot

Three Days in Darwin

Good sized and clean room with decent shower. On edge of town centre so quiet, but most locations within walking distance. Staff helpful. Laundry facility available. Only criticism is breakfast. Described as light continental and that is what you get. Toast and cereal. Fortunately, more substantial options available in town!
