Great location with all the room amenities you would expect and friendly staff. Quiet Hotel and got a good night sleep. I think the room needs a make over because the oldness makes it look more unclean than what it really is.

The nightclub across the alley from this location played extremely loud music all night making it impossible to sleep. We were lucky to have an alternate room arranged for us at midnight on Friday, other families were not so fortunate. The assistant told us they have complained multiple times to Darwin council only to be ignored. If you book a room, be sure to insist on one away from the club. The new room were had was very quiet and made the rest of our stay pleasant.
