Overall Darcy Arms Hotel was fantastic. Only thing that put a dampner on our stay was no jug in our room for morning coffee. Supplies were their for coffee making. 😞

Amazing. The location, being able to cross the road and jump on a tram. Walk to the end of the street for the beach. The convenience shop and the restaurant attached to it was delicious and so friendly. Can’t wait to come back!! We did washing and drying there. My kids loved it.

お昼前の少し早い時間に到着したので、スーツケースだけ預かってもらおうと思い、レセプションに行きました。親切に対応してもらい、もう部屋の準備ができているからと、そのまま部屋に通してもらえました。飛行機での到着後に直接行ったので、とっても助かりました。 部屋の中で死んだゴキブリがひっくり返っていたのには少し驚きましたが、その他は問題ありませんでした。 多少施設は古いですが、低価格だし、ライトレールの駅やサーファーズパラダイスの中心地にも近くとても便利な場所なので、満足しています。

Rosemary

Pros: The woman at check in was very friendly and accommodating. Good location, close to tram stop. Cons: No wifi access in the room and very weak at the lobby (despite advertising wifi capabilities), AC is noisy and also not able to cool the room down much, stained bath towel, and toilet water pressure is too low to even flush TP away. No staff showed up to open the office on our checkout day so we couldn’t store luggage (which we needed and became a huge hassle) and they left no where to drop the key or any instructions for checking out when they’re closed. Several other guests were also walking all over the property trying to figure out what to do. This inconvenience really ruined the stay for us.

モーテルなので仕方ないですが、幹線道路の音が気になります. それ以外は、問題ないです. スタッフは親切で丁寧、築年数の割に部屋も清潔に保たれています.
