Our initial accommodation was

Our initial accommodation was in a clean double room perfectly clean and comfortable. On our subsequent stay, two days after, we were given a family room which although clean and comfortable it didn't have any other source of fresh air other than opening the only door, which althought had a fly screen this didn't lock nor did it have a curtain to provide any privacy. Would request a move should this happen again.

Stayed for two days rooms need

Stayed for two days rooms need alittle work happy to pay the price I did over the net but would not have liked to pay the full price. Disappointed that room was not serviced one of the two days we stayed there but assume that was a staff error.Breakfast was great value. Check in staff could have been a little friendlier!

This hotel is in a good location and the staff were friendly. However our room was a bit tired looking especially the carpet. The beds were very comfortable and we has a great nights sleep.

There was a terrible odour coming

There was a terrible odour coming from the bathroom which was very strong, upon mentioning this to the staff they said there was nothing that could be done about it, a plumbing problem, not very satisfactory.

The location is central. Good clean and comfortable room after long journey. Pleasant staff. Restaurant was flagged up in some publications as being very good. It's adequate but not quite as good as expected.

Reception staff could have been

Reception staff could have been more friendly and could have explained the facilities of the hotel when checking in. The spa was not very clean. It had a dirt ring around the waterline and was not cleaned even 3 days from reporting this to the reception staff.

So much to do in Alice Springs, I added an extra day here. Hotel staff also helped with day trip reservations, extra servicing in room, transport. Excellent Restaurant The Red Ochre Grill (reservations may be necessary for dinner).

This is the most central of any

This is the most central of any of the Alice Hotels in relation to the shopping mall and centre of town. Althopugh the rooms look like its a travel motel it is deceptive and they are spacious, quiet and clean. Pool is small and shady. Down side was the attached Red Ochre restaurant where breakfast was OK but evening meal overpriced and not as good as the menu made out. If staying in Alice it is recommended and seems to be popular with Brits and Europeans.

Good central location to the mall

Good central location to the mall however insufficient parking available and we did need to park across the road next to the Todd River. We did find too that the room picked up all of the mall and restaurant noise. Normal room tariff ($120 p/n) made it affordable accommodation however the weekend rate of $200 p/n was a bit steep considering we did have to park across the road and listen to the noise of the restaurant and mall patrons until late into the evening.
