Exaust fan in bathroom didnt work, the shower was very old and basic. Aircon was very noisy but worked.
My stay was very comfortable and quiet. The staff were very friendly and the room was cleaned daily. The accommodation was a little dated, but was value for money. When I return to Albany, I will consider staying there again.
Very friendly staff, convenient location. Affordable and the room was lovely and clean

The carpet was stained. Squished bugs on ceiling and walls. The seats were so disgusting we would not even put a bag on them. The bed was sunken and you could feel every spring. Dude with loud engine doing ‘deliveries’ all night. This was terrible and so not worth the money.

The room was clean but very much in need of complete renovation and modernisation! Ok for a one night stop over but thats all. Albany is amazing with plenty to do and see, costal views that take your breath away!
checking in was easy, the receptionest was really nice ( sorry forgot her name ) we had a standard room and was suitable for our needs and very clean.if i had to pick a negative for me it was having a top sheet on top of the doona, although i believe this is the in thing now, to me it is quicker, easier & cooler to just to remove the doona and leave the top sheet on, but everyone is different. so not a big deal.
The room was neat and tidy. However the air conditioner was noisy and a bit too cold. The pillows are hard. The sheets in my opinion had too much starch in because every turned over in bed all you heard were the sheets.
Comfortable stay, my room was clean and tidy. The only thing I can complain about is the cleaning ladies were extremely loud talking and laughing outside my room and in the laundry which was right next door to my room. Other than that, it was great. 😊
