Thank you to the Courtyard by Marriot. As soon as id arrived, the staffs were helpful and accomodating. However I need to mention Ega, she was my favourite, she was friendly, easy on the eyes and she had such an adorable smile. Again, id apologise for the inconvenience i had caused, i had carelessly took a longer than expected break and found myself on the missing person list back in Melbourne.

Fabulous but

Very friendly staff and very comfortable hotel. Only problem was it changed its name recently and our taxi had no idea where the courtyard by Marriott was. Also currently no bar or restaurant despite still advertising it does. No breakfast on weekends either. Need to communicate this to customers with bookings as this is not a good look.

Partner and I stayed here over new year's and we had a wonderful stay. Stayed on the 8th floor and it was very quiet and in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle that was darwin CBD. Super comfy bed and walkable to most places in Darwin CBD area. Great hotel, great location and amazing staff!
