Our stay was made difficult as the room had a shower over a bath. My partner who is 82 could not use it. Staff were great and arranged for an accessible shower room but we had to wait for the relocation. The new room was spacious but too many mirrors that confused my patner

Not a good experience, was supposed to check in at 3 but room wasn't ready, by 3:45 still not ready so they had to do some shuffling and give us a different room, although this was a painfully slow process. Requested a blanket rather than doona and they brought up a wafer thin stained single "blanket" for our king sized bed, eventually came back with some better options however they were also really stained. Ordered room service at 11pm (2 x toasted sandwiches) told about 15min, nearly an hour later after chasing them up a couple of lukewarm sandwiches arrived. Location was great but was really let down by the service.

Had a dreadful time staying here. Booked twin room for two nights. Arrived after late flight to find no twin beds available but wanted to charge us $50 to put a trundle bed in the room for the night and have housekeeping separate the bed into twin beds in the morning. We separated the bed ourselves and went to reception to get sheets. Sheets were wet. In the morning asked at reception to get beds made up properly. They told us housekeeping would attend to the room right away. Got back to room after long day out to find the beds weren't made up. So we slept without a quilt or proper sheets for the second night. A few days after we checked out we were charged for minibar items that we most certainly did not take. Charged us a credit card surcharge even though we didn't pay with credit card. Returned to the hotel after a week in Katherine for one more night. Once again they did not have twin beds ready in our room even though we'd requested this. Staff were rude, officious and slow. Absolutely nothing good to say about our stay here.

We booked a room overlooking the pool with two beds we checked in went to the room it had one bed just like last time and did not overlook the pool. Went back to reception they blamed hotel.com for sending wrong info and for the false advertising.

We arrived late. I had specifically asked for a room with two beds. The room with no view as advertised and tiny only had one bed a roller bed was brought in. The guy told us they didn’t have rooms with two beds. The next day we got moved to a room with two beds. The place is old and run down. Mould in the bathroom. The breakfast was good.

Good location

We stayed twice recently and on our first stay our room was small and musty. It was on the 4th floor. The second stay was on the 1st floor and was a much larger room and smelt fresh. Just be aware that rooms aren’t serviced daily. They are serviced after three days. Good location, but if staying there again, I wouldn’t settle for our first room. Breakfast was buffet and well stocked.

The first room we had was lovely but smelt very musty. That was on the 4th floor. The next time we stayed our room was lovely and that was on the first floor. Breakfast was buffet and nice selection. Situated down on the Waterfront area with an easy walk into town. I would definitely stay here again but ask to change rooms if you end up with a musty one.
