This hotel is located close to the city east walk to central area, restaurants and Darwin Wharf area ( or a short ride). Staff are helpful. The pool and joining outdoor eating/bar area are lovely and the gym is well equipped. The rooms, however, are in need of total refurb for the price and star rating. Bathroom has a shower curtain and no storage. Decor drab and door entry system required us to have key card reconfigured every other day.
