The old orange curtains had holes & were falling down. They were that thin that the curtains didn’t block out any sunlight . Plus the street lights shon straight through the thin curtains. We all had a terrible nights sleep.

I couldn't fault the staff, they were all friendly and helpful. However, there were a few negative points: The chairs in the dining room needed a good clean. The glass fencing around the pool were smeary and needed cleaning. The rubbish bin by the pool wasn't emptied for at least a couple of days. Alice Springs itself did not feel safe at all, even during the day, so we did not venture out in the evening - I realise this is no fault of the hotel but it would have been nice if we were warned about this when checking in. Finally, about a month before we were due to arrive our flight got changed which meant we wouldn't arrive until a day later. Despite contacting the hotel they wouldn't refund for the first day and didn't even offer a room upgrade. It is a shame about these points, as it wouldn't take much effort to bring it round. But instead it just felt a little tired and neglected.

A usual, the stay was enjoyable.

Your services was just pretty good
