We stayed for a short time connecting at the interchange early the next morning. Staff were lovely and very quick to get us to our room. Staffed 24hrs. Easy checkout and we also could leave our luggage for a week which was handy as we were hiking. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Great stay for a night to recharge.

Brand new hotel conveniently positioned near Stuart Highway (good if you're about to head out to Kakadu, Litchfield, etc.). The staff member met us late at night, and was so helpful - the check-in process was very smooth. Highly recommend.

We were disappointed in the rooms view, a concrete wall 5 meters away. Thought you could have done better considering this was our 5th visit to your motel. Its the only bad thing I’ve had with your business to date.
