The room was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised by the recent renovations as we have stayed there previously. The summer special price of $65 per night for a couple was an added bonus and excellent... More

In Alice for several months managing a project for the Federal Govt. Used this motel as a base of operations for teams going out to remote areas. Staff always friendly and helpful, willingly making last minute changes/additions to rooms as necessary. Not a resort, but certainly clean, tidy and importantly, comfortable. Walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and CBD. Kitchenette... More
