Kathy and Karl were wonderful hosts. They fed us when we arrived after all restaurants had closed and shared the washing machine and drying line with us when we arrived for our second visit. Breakfast was wonderful and we enjoyed our conversations with both of them. The garden was beautiful. Kathy made sure we had everything we needed and even gave us a storage container for some cookies we were carrying with us for our trip to Devils Marbles. That container is now back here in Canada with us, and every time I use it, I will remember what a lovely stay we had here.

    The location was perfect. Walking distance to the the central city with shops, restaurants etc. While still being in a more secure and calm place. Furthermore, there was a small kitchen, comfortable bed etc. and very clean room.

    The room had an amazing view of the hills! Clean, modern decor with a great big shower and facilities. The bed was huge and comfortable and clean. The pool was great with the bar offering great prices alcohol and snacks. Car park was close to our room and we could see it from our balcony. The restaurant options and casino location was great for a night out. This was the cheapest value for money place we have stayed and we would stay again for sure!

    The restaurant staff and reception staff are amazing even though my room was not ready when we arrived at 3pm after a long multi-day hike. The breakfast was yummy too thanks to Chef Ashnee! The pool is not heated but comfortable as it's very hot anyway. The pool bar is being renovated but not a problem you can still order drinks from the restaurant. The room was very clean with a great view. The pillows and bed is very comfortable. I would stay here again! It's a great location only 8 minutes to town and safe to walk most times.

    Location was excellent for our requirements. The beds were so comfortable. A very good night's sleep was enjoyed all nights. Cleanliness was reasonable considering the lack of availability of staff & the rooms are older. The Staff were brilliant in the way they dealt with our every request even when under pressure. Keep up the GOOD work!! Loved the fact that breakfast was available on site. Also having Uncles next door is a GREAT asset.

    The room was a budget room so not as spacious as other rooms at the motel. The bed was comfortable and clean. We liked the location which is in the centre of the town. We could walk everywhere. We received vouchers for free drinks at the bar and coffe shops at the entrance to the property. The property had a pool and washing facilities.

    This was our first trip to the Alice, we were impressed with this four storey wonderful building. It is undergoing a refurbishment. It offered free secure parking. The staff are very friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable. The location is central to 2 shopping malls and at one end of the hotel complex is a wonderful bar / bistro / restaurant which opens onto the main street mall. We stayed there on our way up to Darwin and again, on our return journey we stayed again.
