This hotel is unfortunately the best of a bad bunch in Derby. It's tired and in need of a manor refurb, but there is no alternative that offers the range of services this place does. I have been staying here for many years and the only thing that has changed is the staff (at least they now offer a friendly smile).
Derby should be a tourist Mecca with some of the most unique and incredible landscape within a couple of hours drive. However with limited options for accommodation, poor services generally (try and rent a car and you will see what I mean) and massive overpricing, most tourists choose to stay in Broome where there are many more options.
Think fried eggs that have been sitting in a baine Marie for an hour, dry bacon, homebrand baked beans and a toaster with a plastic bag of bread alongside (without tongs) and you start to get an idea of the standard (and cooked breakfast a la help yourself is $22.50).
The rooms are dark and beds roll around all over the tiled floor, but they are relatively clean. The TV is old style CRT on a bamboo table (typical of furnishings) and recently they upgraded air conditioners (before they only had in wall rattlers, that are stll there).
It's sad that a great place like Derby needs tourists to improve facilities and while they try to attract them they have to pay staff well so there must be much left to pour back to improve the place. At $265 a night (higher than 5 star in Perth) I can't understand why improvements don't happen. If you plan to stay in Derby just imagine it's on the edge of nowhere and we are probably lucky to get 3 stars?

The room and bathroom were clean, plenty of fresh towels. Room smelt a little damp (due to the extreme wet weather they had been having) until the air conditioning was put on but it worked really well. Better room than some I'd experienced in London, UK and Melbourne, Australia.

Derby is not a luxury resort and considering the climate and area this hotel provides for your needs adequately and the staff were helpful. I may have been lucky as my room was a decent size, had one single and a double and was well decorated.

Pool area looked good and although I didn't get the chance to eat in the hotel, other guests said the food was good.
