“Good overnight stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

My husband and I spent 2 nights midweek in this this motel and were very pleased with the spacious room and level of comfort it provided.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The only drawback being the noise of the main road, but earplugs, supplied by the motel soon
stopped this.
We would recommend The Albatross Motel to anybody who needs a place to stay.

Thank you very much for posting a review.. Road noise can be aproblem for some, but it is very common , as most motels are located on the main thoroughfare. We like to offer the earlplugs, as our guests sleep quality is very important to us. Surprisingly , hardly anyone ever asks for them, except for the occasional guests staying in the front 3 units.

“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

The Albatross is great value for money, basic but everything you need. Yes, there is road noise but free ear plugs are offered and I personally didn't find I needed them.
The owners are extremely helpful, from the young girl who checked us in (presumably the daughter ?) and suggested we might like a pedestal fan as the unit was fairly hot, to the owner/manager who promptly fixed the bathroom window that wouldn't stay shut. Also, my booking request of a room away from the smokers' lounge, was met.
Definitely recommended.

“Very reasonable price with good service and nice, clean room.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Staff were helpful and pleasant. Rooms were nice and clean. Simple but current decor (not dated 90's like many). Very happy to accomodate our 2 year old in a portacot and even made sure the room we got had slightly more space.
Overall a very pleasant stay, would definetly stay again.
