Staff are friendly and always ready to provide assistance. Was given privilege of free continental breakfast buffet due to being a silver member of Hotel.com, and the spread was adequate for me. The motel has limited parking lots, but there were free ample parking lots just another gate away. Used the BBQ pit for a dinner, where the utensils were provided by the motel.

Good Value for your money

We were quite happy with our room here, which had everything we were looking for: comfortable chairs, a desk, a fridge, etc. Staff were very nice and accommodating. Location would typically have been great for us, in walking distance to lots of restaurants, but I found Darwin's humidity and heat to be extreme and so we couldn't walk as far as we normally do without feeling like we were going to pass out. One suggestion: when you offer room cleaning only every two days, put bigger wastebaskets in the rooms.

Property location is great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room condition and size was pretty poor for the price we paid. Aircon was very noisy keeping us awake at night. No extraction fan in the bathroom either. They had free breakfast but it’s just toast and cereal. Overall the stay wasn’t uncomfortable, but definitely feel like we overpaid for what we got.
