Rob

Liked: Cleanliness
The check in process took over an hour due to insufficient staff and resources to deal with the volume of people. At best the room is equivalent to a three star motel, with two flat pillows on the bed and no amenities such as bottled water, tea/coffee etc. The shower was adequate but not great. Staff seemed inclined to give you any plausible answer rather than say they don’t know. Not particularly helpful. Swimming pool looks awesome though.

Dont stay if you need to sleep
Arrived 12.30am and asked for a room with minimal disturbance. I had also requested this at time of booking. I think even if they tried they could not have put me in a room that had more people checking in at all hours of the morning in every room around me. Drunk people outside near the pool at 1.30am screaming kids checking into their room next door at 3am. More drunk people checking in to their room at 4am and thought my room was theirs, trying to get in the door. Never again, ill pay the $50 taxi both ways and stay in the city.

This is just what it is an airport property, the thing that saves it is the fantastic pool and great restaurant. Rooms are dated but very clean, lack of pillows is an issue but for one night its fine

Appalling hotel
The hotel chain spent a fortune on a very glamorous swimming pool next door which we could use but there was not one umbrella (the marketing image shows many umbrellas) and only 3 or 4 covered private areas which had to be prebooked. The rooms are in urgent need of an upgrade. The rooms were atrocious and priority should’ve been made on improving the rooms. I was also told to contact the hotel once we had arrived & standing outside the hotel sign at Darwin airport so that the hotel could send the shuttle to pick us up. We did this but the person from the hotel kept telling us to move away from there and go stand elsewhere. It was so hot at after midnight and this person had no idea. It was extremely upsetting and very frustrating. We will never stay here again and will avoid staying at the airport hotel at any cost

The property was fairly good - the problem was lack of information regarding the renovation work. I found out renovations were in progress AFTER I had booked! I arrived at midnight from Melbourne. I walked over to the resort and couldn't get in. I eventually went to the Airport Inn to ask for assistance and was told they were now doing the check-ins! A heads up on arrangement would have been handy!
