超景汽車旅館(Paravista Motel)

We enjoyed out stay as the room had everything that we needed for our stay. The air conditioning worked well as it was still very hot even in early june. The rooms and bathroom decor are dated but its clean and the beds are comfortable and so it was a great place to stay at a good price. Off street car parking is good and its not far to travel by car to the main points of interest around darwin. Staff were friendly and helpful. The wifi is patchy in your room but they warn you that this is the case

Firstly you need to understand, this is an older Motel. If this Motel were anywhere else in Australia, it would be advertised as a 'boutique' Motel. My point is, older does not mean neglected. In fact, these folks have done very well maintaining the property and rooms that - though those 70's ring loud, its quaint! Clean! Tidy! And QUIET! Oh, so quiet! Noise is one of my bugbears when I travel and it was the lure of quite that sent me here - and Paravista delivered! NO traffic noise, NO noise from other rooms, NO noise from neighbouring properties, just quite. * Rooms are sort-of updated - Beds are new and comfy, bathroom is 70's looking, but clean and serviceable. * There is no cooking facilities in the room, but there is a communal kitchen. * However, the staff more than willing to give me a Microwave for the room to compliment the Tea and Coffee making facilities. * Aircon worked well and the balcony was a nice touch. * I didn't use the pool, but it looked great! We stayed First Floor, Room 7. I lost my pic of our room, but the pics of the newer beds are standard. If I have to Motel in Darwin again, I will definitely stay here.

What we like: Relatively cheaper accommodation compared to other CBD hotels in Darwin. It's walking distance to Parap Market and close to the airport. Only 5 minutes drive to Mindil Market. The room is good size with 1 QB and 1 SB. Typical old school motel. Good value for money. Will stay here again if we visit Darwin again. What not-so-pleasant: Musty smell as soon as you open the door. Maybe because we were provided a room on the ground floor. Or maybe the rooms are cleaned with not-so-clean mop. Free Wifi only accessible near the reception area.
