Disliked: Cleanliness
First room we booked the walls were dirty - cleaned not very throughly and tv was broken in on bedroom - we got moved to a cleaner room however that room didn’t have a tv in bedroom and the shower had barely any water pressure. It use to be my go to place for family holidays in Darwin but unfortunately has gone down hill. I will say the staff were lovely and accommodating.
