The breakfast was a light continental and with limited fresh fruit, but it was convenient and the breakfast staff were very efficient in replenishing items. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Our suite had a kitchenette with everything necessary but without a toaster. We would stay at the Argus again if ever in Darwin.
