7.0/10

The hotel room cost me over $200 for a night's stay, which I found a bit pricey for what it offered, but it was very spacious and in a superb location with easy access to plenty of food options. There was a noticeable smell when I first opened the door, quite different from my previous stays 2 years ago, especially the rooms on the 5th or 6th floor, which were better.

The hotel's central location in Darwin's CBD was a major plus, as we could easily walk to all the attractions and enjoy the waterfront. The secure parking was a convenient perk.

Dining

While the dining experience had some good aspects, such as quality local bread, the overall selection and service could be improved. We often opted to eat outside the hotel for more variety.

The hotel facilities were very handy, especially the easy parking arrangements. However, a lack of nighttime restaurant service was a downside for evening dining.
