Room had a terrible musty mouldy smell. Our room was very dated, old wooden furniture and curtains. No fresh air available. The mugs were very stained and there was no clock. The bathroom was newly renovated, but the tiles in the shower were slippery.

From what I can see from previous reviews the check in process has improved, there were helpful staff at desk to help us "self check-in". There is no cafe/ restaurant at this hotel (breakfast is a voucher for the cafe down the road). There are no blankets on the bed only sheets (I know Darwin is hot but with the air con blasting it would be nice to have a light blanket). There is no hair dryer in bathroom. Massive red stain on carpet in room bit of an eye sore. Felt a bit over priced for what it was.

The room would have benefited from a chest of drawers and an additional chair. The bathroom needed shelves or drawers. There was just no where to put belongings generally. TV needs to be updated. All looked a bit tired making it overpriced for what was provided.
