"Fantastic Stay – Spacious Rooms & Excellent Service I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, very clean, and well-appointed with great amenities. The buffet was well stocked with a variety of food. I especially loved the egg-ordering service, having them brought directly to the table without waiting was a great touch. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist. Overall, a fantastic hotel experience, I would definitely stay again!"

"I was just using this place as a layover spot before I joined my cruise ship. I got in very late after connecting flying from the states. 14 time zones away. Darwin is a wonderful tropical town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Very similar to Hawaii. Very laid back but with all kinds of shopping dining options. This is a bacis only hotel with no frills, a nice swimming pool. Great for I situation like mine. "
