Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The dirtiest hotel I have EVER stayed in and no response from management. Cockroach infested, filthy and absolutely no excuse for such a revolting standard of cleanliness. Nothing extra is done historically to do anything to clean other than make the bed, clean the bathroom… no response from management in my 3 night stay and had no choice but to stay as everything was booked out… No wonder tourism is dropping in Darwin… this experience would put anyone off.
