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. 😞

Only problem was noise.
The room itself was great, nice and clean, and the location was amazing.
My only problem was the bar at the motel, it was so loud most of the day and early night, especially when they had live music. I couldn't relax in my room because of that.

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.

Convenient to tram and beach. Rooms are close to the pub. We did not mind the associated noise, but it might be a factor for some people. We would stay there again.
