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.
Perfect stop before heading to the outback.
5min walk to IGA and take away shops.
Also other restaurants are close by.
I’ll be back

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.
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
this hotel is now doing remodeling and currently we stayed the room is great with a great air conditioning as it is hot even it is Autumn Time in Alice Springs NT Australia. All the necessary items inside the rooms are well-equipped. The owner responded my questions promptly
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
