Good location

The location and condition of the property were very good. Unfortunately, we found our bed quite soft, meaning we didn’t sleep very well. Certainly not the fault of the staff, but someone had been smoking - maybe in the next room. The smell was very strong. I'm not sure if there was also a dog next door, but it was barking intermittently from early morning till we left at 9.30.

Great overnight stay at the Crown on Darby. 2 bed, 2 bath accommodation. Very modern and clean. Situated on Darby St where there was a lot of choice of places to eat and drink. Would have been nice to stay a few more nights but on a road trip.
