The restaurant was the big surprise. We usually avoid the hotel restaurants, but this one was far better all around - service, food, friendliness - than any we found in town.

This hotel was listed at four and a half stars, but I think someone accidentally put the four stars in front of the half.

I’d liken this hotel to a Motel 6 in the States, and if it was the best, I’d have hated to see the worst. The rooms all had this awful smell to them – I couldn’t stay in the first room for very long before wanting to gag. I was told to open the windows and air it out – but the only ventilation was these little sliding windows above the big glass lookout window – not enough to ventilate a room. So we were given a room with a sliding glass door so we could open it up and air out the smell (which never really did leave, it just lessened with time.) Instead of the two double beds that the first one had, this one had one double and one single. Since I had been paired with a roommate to avoid the tour’s single supplement, and it was my fault we were changing rooms, I got the short end of the stick with the single bed.

It really didn’t matter, as the beds were hard and uncomfortable. Not only were two women guests given a room with a sliding door on the first floor right on the main walkway (I didn’t feel at all safe), we were given the handicapped accessible room, which meant taking a shower became an exercise in maneuverability. (It was made for sitting down, not for standing up.)

There was a pool/hole in the ground with some water in it, if you were interested in swimming in chlorine-heavy water.

The one redeeming quality of this hotel was its restaurant. The meal there was very good, as were the buffet breakfasts (normally $25-$35 extra when not on the tour.)

Alice Springs is an interesting town in the heart of the Outback, miles away from anything – including a good hotel room. If you’ve gotta see Alice Springs, might I suggest enduring a long drive in and then turning right around for a long drive out.

The Web site suggests that rates start around $150 a night, but I’d rather spend that money on a plane ticket out.

It was an awful place, and as a point of reference, at least two couples on the tour with me agreed. A camper would be better! I took no photos, as I was so disgusted, and didn't want to remember it at all. Close
