The best thing about the Vibe Darwin Waterfront is the location and the staff. Otherwise, the hotel is tired and uncomfortable. Air conditioning noisy and very hard to set a comfortable temperature - generally too cold. Shower fitting over bath unstable and shower head sprays water on floor making for slippery floor safety hazard. Curtains overlooking the carpark well-worn and dirty. Readin chair next to bed very hard and uncomfortable.
