The room was the least attractive part of the whole hotel. Seemed a little run down. The person responding to Expedia messages answered (incorrectly, about laundry services available) after I had already checked out, even though I sent the message before I even checked in

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

Black out curtains full of holes, room above garbage bins and woken by truck. Restaurant and pool bar closed during our stay. Lift out of order at our end of hotel. Checkout staff couldn’t readily provide me with a copy of my room service bill. Will not stay here again.

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.
