I travel to Darwin for work and this is my go-to spot. The pool is lovely. I wish they had chrome cast as I stay in and relax after work, but I still like it.

Great location but tired room facilities. Pool area is lovely and the building looks out onto a park and ocean.
Rooms could do with an upgrade, especially the carpets and the shower water pressure.
On the upside, very comfortable bed.
