This was a very comfortable stay. The room was large and clean with a comfortable king bed. The kitchenette was very good. The pool area was much better than expected. The bathroom was clean and functional but was perhaps a little tired. Very convenient parking. Gated for security which was great. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again when next in Darwin

Our King Studio room was lovely. There was loads of room, double hotplate, microwave, toaster and kettle for cooking. There was a selection of saucepans to use. Could have done with a frying pan though. Very clean and nice quality bed linen, towels etc. Handy location for walking to entertainment areas. On site laundry very handy too.
