Entrance to hotel on Giles St, not Third St. The property has been recently renovated, so the room was nicely decorated and furnished. Some of the details were not perfect (like the caulking in the bathroom), but overall nicely done - clean, comfortable and functional. Could use a few more large pillows. Staff were a bit odd - had 2 different staff call me the day before to confirm my booking, and when I checked in there was some confusion regarding payment (I had selected pay on arrival, but when we got there our credit card had already been charged that morning). They supplied toiletries - somehow we ended up with 3 shampoos (no shower gel/soap or conditioner). When my husband went to get soap, the staff member rolled his eyes like it was all too hard, and ended up giving us body lotion, not soap. So we used the liquid hand soap on the sink to shower with. The pool looked murky, so we did not use it. Not sure about the area around the hotel, but all of Katherine has a bit of a strange (unsafe?) vibe. Great location for access to Nitmiluk / Katherine Gorge as you just follow Giles Road. Overall a good stay (a bit weird), but I would probably stay in the caravan park next time.
