Petrena, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

You get what you pay for (bed, shower/toilet) and small room. The staff were extremely polite & helpful. Security gate made our stay feel safe. Close to Fannie Bay restaurants & Parap markets which was handy. Comfy bed & clean sheets. Shower was old & stained but clean. Thanks for fitting us in at last minute.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked the assistance from the staff. I didnt like there were no side tables, no teaspoons, no toiletries, and I didn't like that other guests were drinking and fighting at 3am keeping me awake
Kathryn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Limited facilities - my guess is the place will be sold soon.
TIMOTHY, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Whilst the staff are very friendly, the property is extremely dirty
Lachlan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Afraid this is so run down and awful, bed ancient, black mould on roof, broken window, aircon didn’t cope, just so tired…
Lewis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Been told there will be charges for our dogs even though Expedia said no fees, no surprises on arrival. Been told to take our dogs outside of the property to do their business which we respectfully did. Then asked again whilst outside of the property, to take our dogs to the nearest park even though we had poo bags ready on us. Paid cash extending another night and was owed $10 change. And when I said just give it to me later since we see each other everyday, Waited for me to be fully packed, outside of the yard, double checking keys and gate card "were"actually in the Dropbox to return my $10 change. Everywhere was dirty and unpleasant. We had no blankets, very uncomfortable beds and the whole atmosphere was a true let down. We will never stay at the cornucopia "budget" resort ever again.
Lyndon, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

refused to stay after the first night.
Dianne, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Friendly staff, but property was old and not well maintained. Springs poked through the mattress, and my wife got some bites whilst sitting on the small chair in the room. Good location, close to beach and Yacht club. Overall, would not recommend it.
Brian, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend as the facilities are very run down and the clientel are less than suitable
Dianne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Susan, 2-night trip

Marie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I don’t know why have you approved it to be a motel. Nothing good hopeless
Viliame, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Friendly staff and welcoming. . Property is extremely run down, needs a lot of work, a good clean, plumbing fixed and renovations.
Joanne, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place was (apparently) the place to be a long time ago. Now it is one step off being a ruin. The only good point was that it had rooms for reasonable comparatively cheap rates. The rest of Darwin was booked out at below $300/n.
Michael, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor place, clean inside room, but disgusting everywhere else
Julien, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible parking. Horrible facilty
