Central location in Alice Springs. We stayed one night before leaving for Uluru Room was a good size and comfortable We were able to leave a bag with them for a few days WiFi was intermittent at best

Mercure Alice Springs Resort
The Mercure gives you the impression that it was once a motel that was revamped. It is not the most accessible property however it does have a swimming pool, a decent restaurant that serves a buffet breakfast and a nice dinner menu. It’s well located in a short walking distance from town.
