Stayed in room 8. Was an absolutely lovely room to crash in after a long day. FYI the shower has a square knob on it that you can turn to adjust what shower head you wish to use as there is 2 heads.the management there was super helpful and friendly. Highly recommended

The roperty is undergoing renovations, so the surroundings were not a good indication of how it would be. I was only concerned with the room and it’s facilities, which were perfect for my requirements.
The staff were very kind and courteous. They even suggested things that I didn't know, like the distance to the restaurants and the grocery store. They were cognitive of my needing to walk, since I have no vehicle, my fitness. That is personal attention. Thank you for your referral to that property. I will use it anytime.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Property undergoing refurbishment. We were the only people there which was great. Only problem was unable to receive channels on tv, only access was to YouTube.
I love staying at Alice Motor Inn and it reminds me of good old Desert Rose Inn and I’m missed the hotel & know the hotel owner well and use to live next to his hotel.
Quick stay between Uluru and Mt Isa. We stayed in Alice Springs. refueled and bought groceries. And had an early night as we have a 12 hour drive today
Place is in middle of some renovations- so a little run down in parts
But everything functioned just fine- we especially loved communal kitchen and laundry facilities ( including a huge clothes line for stuff that can’t go in dryer)
Reception staff member was welcoming and very helpful
Great place when budget is a consideration
