Ok so this hotel is not romantic and is dated. But if you’re not expecting too much it’s fine. This time the aircon in my room was dripping water so they moved me.
I’ve stayed here a lot and I believe it should be cheaper, but it’s ok. Free parking, good Aussie pub downstairs and you can grab a scooter and ride into town.
Compare prices to other nearby hotels and you’ll soon see it’s on the cheaper side, so unfair to compare with 4-5star in a bigger price bracket.
In peak season nothing is cheap in Darwin.

Booked this for its proximity to the Botanic Gardens and museum. Did NOT know about the topless barmaids and yahoos in the bar. Aircon worked well but rooms are run down and need a thorough clean. Cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom, paint chipped in the main room. Carpet was very worn. Mattress was saggy and pillows are flat. Very noisy with people coming and going in the corridor at night.

Went there with my partner for a romantic stay. Hotel was:
*Unclean
*In need of repair and Maintance
*No security at night - anyone off the street could enter the hotel and have full access to rooms on all floors, by simply using the unlocked and open door in the bar downstairs - this means that drunk patrons from the bar could have easy access to all areas of the hotel afterhours - my partner felt unsafe there at night.
*Went downstairs with my partner for dinner - was not told that downstairs bar/restaurant is a topless bar on certain evenings - Would have been extremely embarrassing and disturbing if there with parents/ family/kids - as it was, we ordered takeaways, and went back to our room.
*Noise from the bar downstairs kept us awake during the night
*Not enough lighting in the room - dark even when all lights on at night
*Room not cleaned or rubbish removed everyday
*Cost was $280 per night - was worth less than $50 per night
* Have since been told by thers, that they too had similar experiences at the hotel and that they felt mislead by the advertising.
