I enjoyed the self check-in/check-out. Every time i went through reception there was staff there so, if i'd needed any help, they were closeby. The room was nice and clean but perhaps a little dated. The tv was tiny given the size of the room (being a king deluxe room) and the positioning of the furniture meant that even if you had a nice view, you weren't in a position to see it. Otherwise a really comfortable stay, no issues.

Excellent staff. I had been hospitalised and they asked me if I was well and to just ask if I needed assistance. Rooms basic but very clean. Domestic staff pleasant. Hotels in Darwin are not cheap but as a a mid to upper range, this was reasonably priced.
