Good Rest After A Late Flight

For a late arrival in Darwin this is an excellent choice. Very surprised at the extent of the facilities at this complex of three Accor hotels. Our breakfast was also of a very high standard.

I stayed in 2 rooms over 4 days which were completely different. The 1st stay was a room with 2 x double beds that needed replacing and a older type room, overdue for renovation but clean and adequate. The 2nd stay I had an update modern room which was smaller than the 1st but good for 2 people with a queen bed.

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed 2 nights on different days and each room was different. One was newer and smaller with a queen bed but still very adequate and the other older and larger with 2 x double beds, which were obviously old beds but great view with small balcony overlooking the new fab pool oasis. There is no food or drinks anywhere on the complex to buy between 10.30am and 11am so be careful of your timing. The staff at check in are slow and although a dedicated area for Accor members, everyone uses the line. No drinking water supplied in either room. Only advantage is that it's walking distance to airport, otherwise I would stay elsewhere.
