The hotel offers nice enough decor and a visually appealing setting right below the skywalk connecting the Waterfront to the main township. The rooms were clean and tidy, but there were some shortcomings in bar service at the pool and cold breakfast options. Despite these, the overall experience was pleasant.

The hotel offers stunning views overlooking Darwin Waterfront from certain rooms but had a slight musty smell upon arrival. The staff were friendly and helpful, though slightly pushy about check-out times. The location is ideal, close to the waterfront and with plenty of dining options nearby. The breakfast was delicious but came with an additional cost. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is vast, with well-designed and spacious rooms but lacks views and can be noisy due to proximity to lifts and other guests. You might find yourself walking a fair distance to and from your room. The service is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable overall, although there were some issues with parking costs being misleading. The location is lovely, with helpful staff, and offers a good choice of nearby restaurants on Darwin waterfront. The dining options could be improved in terms of quality and variety. The breakfast may not offer the best value for money compared to nearby cafes. The facilities are well-maintained, especially the recreation area and pools.
