“Don’t stay there.”
It is being renovated. We were put in a first floor room right next to the renovations. Unbelievably noisy during the day. A $6 charge for room service. A $10a day charge for internet.

“The BEST in Darwin”
The best property in my opinion in Darwin. Room was up to expectations, Price was well worth it - in fact paid more for another place that was non-comparable to DoubleTree. Only regret was not having my entire stay at Darwin here. Pool was the best I encountered in Darwin. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and were very pleased with both. Hotel also gives out great cookies!
