Liked: Cleanliness
I was a bit disappointed that the property did not live up to the photos advertised. Very limited supplies in the room (the most basic version of instant coffee) and no cold water (a necessity in Darwin!) The jug that was supplied did not fit under the tap so we couldn’t even do it ourselves.

The staff? What Staff? There was only one staff member who was lovely, helpful and polite. I am not a fan of the contactless system. I like meeting the staff. Plus there really is no room service given you have to go down to the café and collect your meal instead of hotel staff bringing it to you.
