My husband and I took advantage of the Territorian special and thought we would treat ourselves to a night out in a 5 star hotel... The service at the hotel is really good and the staff are friendly. The standard room we were given is very outdated though and a bit disappointing. We had no view at all (concrete wall) and couldn't open the door to the tiny balcony which isn't big enough to put a chair on, shame for a place with such a beautiful climate (we had staff unlock the door for us to at least let some fresh air in). The room was freezing and even after turning the aircon up it made no difference. It's definitely not a room you would want to spend time in, except to go to bed. The bed by the way was good, king size with lovely sheets. The room and bathroom was clean but needs the horrible carpet removed and needs to be lightened up. We would probably not stay in a standard room again, but we had a good night out, there's plenty to do at the casino, the pool looks really beautiful as well.

This hotel is fairly ordinary unless you spend the extra $50 for a suite. My first night was in a standard room. It was small and dirty. The next day i upgraded to a suite and it was a different world. The staff were excellent going above and beyond will be staying there again.

The rooms are average at best. I feel more like im at a motel than one of the better hotels in Darwin. Room service is a joke. At 1am we decided to order some food from the 24 hour food service. Well we would have if they answered their phone. Also our tv is stuck on the adult channel. We'd call the front desk but they aren't answering their phone either.

We have stayed at this hotel on every occasion that we have visited Darwin. The suite room is worth the few extra dollars to have the advantage of two rooms, a bedroom and lounge room. The bathroom is fantastic with a spa bath, shower and two basins and decorated in marble. There is also an extra toilet when you enter the room. The hotel has everything you could ask for, swimming pool, numerous bars and a number of excellent restaurants. Whilst we enjoyed our stay, it is evident that the place is getting a bit tired. The toilets in the Aqua bar used to be first rate but now are showing lots of signs of their age along with the rest of the Casino. The gardens in the centre of the units are also a bit bare and not quite so inviting.

All of this aside, I still love this place. We received a free bottle of bubbly to celebrate New Years Eve and a giant cracker filled with chocolates. When checking in, we also received two complimentary drinks, two coffees and two Keno vouchers. The restaurants are fantastic and there is everything here you need. Cab fare from the Airport is about $20. Less than what Qantas profess on their short video review. Would definitely recommend for a stay, be whether you are a couple, friends or a family.
