Top Old Ghan Heritage Railway and Museum Hotel Reviews

Elkira Court Motel

8/10 Good

"A good value budget hotel in Alice Springs with secure parking. Management extremely helpful, nothing negative to say about it. Of course you can pay a lot more for the Hilton or Mercure but this hotel is totally adequate and is not as noisy (hoons at night) as the Diplomat Hotel where we have stayed previously. No restaurant open but plenty of options within walking distance."

"Hotel was ok, check in was a little slow. The room initially was fine, but a long walk from reception. Facilities were good and a discount was applicable which was nice.
