The hard product rivals a Holiday Inn. Having said that, we don't regret one bit making the trip to Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Just keep your expectations for the hotel in check.
Well stated. This captures my own feelings exactly. The hotel is now managed by Accor, and was at the time we were there. It is overpriced but it is not as breathtakingly overpriced as Longitude 131. Still, Uluru and the Olgas were so stunning it was worth it to be there. I don't regret our stay for a minute.
