Best stop in Alice Springs

Excellent value! Good location, although not in the city centre, so a car is recommended if you don’t just want to stay and relax in the pool. Very helpful reception and a shop with decent prices, including on wine.

Great stay

5 night stay at the Desert palms - great location with great walking tracks to town and Botanic gardens . Comfortable accommodation even though a bit tight with a queen bed and a single ...could have had the single taken out and given us more space but there was no option . Nice pool area and gardens . Space for car as well which is a bonus . All in all a good stay .
