"Good, reasonably priced hotel in a central location in Darwin. The continental breakfast included in the price did not offer a very good selection, just fruit, toast and cereals. A cooked break fast was offered for A$10 but again, quite a limited range. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall a good experience."
